| Abstract | The morphology and the physical and chemical characteristics of four groups of TiO2–ZrO2–ZrTiO4 nanotubes that were fabricated via anodization in a non-aqueous electrolyte were investigated in order to examine their influence on the bioactivity of, and cell adhesion on, Ti50Zr alloy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D profilometry were used for the characterization. The in vitro cell responses to nanotubular surfaces with different inner diameters (Di) between 25 and 49 nm were assessed using osteoblast cells (SaOS2). The results of the MTS assay indicated that the percentage of cell adhesion on the nanotubes was influenced by the nanoscale topographical parameters including the tube inner diameter (Di), the tube wall thickness (Wt), the amplitude roughness (Sa) and the spacing roughness (Sm) of the nanotubular surface. Cell adhesion was promoted to 84.9% on nanotubes with an inner diameter of 25 nm, or 80.3% on nanotubes with a large wall thickness of 34 nm due to the accelerated integrin clustering and focal contacts of formation. A nanotubular surface with a low spacing roughness of 33 nm3 nm−2 led to a cell adhesion of 61.0%. Similarly, a nanotubular surface with a high amplitude roughness of 1.03 μm revealed a cell adhesion of 61.5% in instances where the inner diameters (29 nm) and wall thicknesses (24 nm) were within the critical dimensional parameters for cells to survive and thrive. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
