If a material induces apatite formation in SBF (simulated body fluid) it is likely to exhibit bioactive behaviour. Apatite formation kinetics can help to estimate bioactivity of material and also to describe the formation mechanism. In this study, apatite formation on the surface of titanium was investigated using microscope image analysis and by weighing the precipitated apatite.
