Article Synopsis
- - MXenes, particularly TiCT, are being studied for their potential use in biomedical applications like regenerative medicine and bioelectronics, but their stability during sterilization procedures is crucial for implementation.
- - This study examined how different sterilization methods—autoclave, ethylene oxide, and HO gas plasma—affect the properties of TiCT microelectrodes and composite materials, focusing on aspects like electrical, chemical, structural, and mechanical stability.
- - Results showed that both autoclave and ethylene oxide sterilization methods preserved the integrity and functionality of TiCT while effectively eliminating pathogens, whereas HO gas plasma caused significant damage, indicating that the first two methods are preferable for safe use in biomedical technologies.
