Abstract: Biomimetic functionalization is a pressing need for orthopedic implants to achieve reinforced osseointegration and accelerated osteogenesis, thereby obtaining a successful clinical outcome. To realize bioactivity, TiNb alloys with varying Nb contents (0–45 at.%) were additively manufactured using elemental powder blends. The regulation of the Nb contents could balance the surface constituent ratio of Nb2O5 and TiO2, enhancing the formation of the hydroxyl group and surface hydrophilicity. Moreover, the effect mechanism of Nb2O5 on immune modulation and bone regeneration was first put forward.
