This paper reports on the results of investigations on the blood response to the modified of surfaces titanium alloys. To enhance biocompatibility of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy, anodisation was performed at 80 and 150 V. The oxidation process was carried out in a solution containing 4 mol dm-3 H3PO4 and...
