In the present study, a self-organized nanotube TiO2 layer on Ti-6Al-7Nb was fabricated. The influence of acidic electrolytes including glycerol (G) and ethylene glycol (EG) on the anodization, microstructural features and surface wettability was explored. The phase compositions and morphological ch...
