Fabricated porous SiO2 nanofibers grafted composite bioactive glass–ceramic coating on inert glass.
The newly engineered coating facilitates uniformly dense apatite precipitation.
Embedded porous silica nanofibers enhance hydrophilicity of the coated surface.
Cells proliferate well on the entire coating following a particular orientation by the assistance of nanofibers.
The coatings have potential to be used as biological scaffold on the surface of implants.
