Titanium Dioxide (TiO2, titania) nanoparticles are widely studied in cosmetology, food administration, and medical fields. This is due to the nanoparticles’ suitable properties, specific combination of strength and high corrosion resistance. With the increasing attention to these particles, there is concern with potential health complications. Some of the complications involved with titania nanoparticles include blood clots and immune reactions (Sit et al., 2019). In this study, we continue the study conducted in the Sahai research group (J. Chen. MS thesis, 2020), on the binding of titania nanoparticles with blood plasma proteins, focusing on potential effects of shape only. …
