Biocompatible Two-dimensional Titanium Nanosheets for Efficient Plasmonic Photothermal Cancer Therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Photothermal therapy (PTT) has shown significant potential in cancer treatment. However, developing nanomaterial-based photothermal agents with good biocompatibility and high photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) remains a key challenge. Titanium has been widely employed as biomedical materials based on their excellent biocompatibility.

Ti$_{1-x}$Au$_x$ Alloys: Hard Biocompatible Metals and Their Possible Applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The search for new hard materials is often challenging from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Furthermore, using materials for biomedical applications calls for alloys with high biocompatibility which are even more sparse. The Ti$_{1-x}$Au$_x$ ($0.22 \leq x \leq 0.8$) exhibit extreme hardness and strength values, elevated melting ...

Flexible and biocompatible microelectrode arrays fabricated by supersonic cluster beam deposition on SU-8 [PDF]
, 2010 We fabricated highly adherent and electrically conductive micropatterns on SU-8 by supersonic cluster beam deposition (SCBD). This technique is based on the acceleration of neutral metallic nanoparticles produced in the gas phase. The kinetic energy acquired by the nanoparticles allows implantation in a SU-8 layer, thus producing a metal-polymer ...
