Synthesis and biological evaluation of titanium dioxide/thiopolyurethane composite: anticancer and antibacterial effects.

ABSTRACT: Nanocomposites incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO₂) have a significant potential for various industrial and medical applications. These nanocomposites exhibit selectivity as antimicrobial and anticancer agents. Antimicrobial activity is crucial for medical uses, including applications in food processing, packaging, and surgical instruments. Additionally, these nanocomposites exhibit selectivity as anticancer agents. A stable nanocomposite as a new anticancer and antibacterial chemical was prepared by coupling titanium dioxide nanoparticles with a polyurethane foam matrix through the thiourea group. The titanium dioxide/thiopolyurethane nanocomposite (TPU/TiO₂) was synthesized from low-cost Ilmenite ore and commercial polyurethane foam. EDX analysis was used to determ
