The neuromorphic nature of the resistive switching in TiO2 memristors has triggered a series of studies addressing their functional coupling with living biological systems. The common features of the electroconductive behavior of memristive and biological neural networks have been revised in terms of physical, mathematical, and stochastic models (Chua, 2013; Feali and Ahmadi, 2016). The memristive electronics was shown to support important synaptic functions such as spike timing-dependent plasticity (Jo et al., 2010; Pickett et al., 2013). Recently, a memristive simulation of important biological synaptic functions such as non-linear transmission characteristics, short-/long-term plasticity, and paired-pulse facilitation has been reported for hybrid organic–inorganic memristors using Ti-based maleic acid/TiO2 ultrathin films (Liu et al., 2020). In relation to this, functionalized TiO2 memristive systems may be in competition with the new generation of two-dimensional memristive materials such as WSe2 (Zhu et al., 2018), MoS2 (Li et al., 2018), MoS2/graphene (Kalita et al., 2019), and other systems (Zhang et al., 2019a) with ionic coupling, ionic modulation effects, or other synapse-mimicking functionalities. Furthermore, the biomimetic fabrication of TiO2 (Seisenbaeva et al., 2010; Vijayan and Puglia, 2019; Kumar et al., 2020) opens up new horizons for its versatile microstructural patterning and functionalizations.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is a commonly used white pigment in paints due to its excellent whiteness, brightness, and weather resistance. It is also known for its ability to absorb ultraviolet light, which can help protect paint from fading and yellowing caused by sunlight. When TiO2 is used in paint, it is typically ground into a fine powder and then mixed with the other ingredients to create the final paint product. The amount of TiO2 used in paint can vary depending on the desired level of whiteness and opacity. In general, paints that are designed for outdoor use, such as exterior house paint, will contain higher levels of TiO2 than paints that are intended for indoor use. One of the main advantages of using TiO2 in paint is its ability to provide a durable and long-lasting finish. This is because TiO2 is very resistant to weathering and does not easily break down or fade when exposed to the elements. As a result, paints that contain TiO2 can provide excellent protection against the effects of sunlight, rain, and other environmental factors. Another advantage of TiO2 is its low cost compared to other pigments.

tio2 used in paint. However, the cost of TiO2 can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the raw material and the production process. In recent years, there has been some concern about the potential health risks associated with exposure to TiO2 dust. While studies have shown that TiO2 is generally considered safe for human contact, there is still some debate about the long-term effects of inhaling TiO2 particles. As a result, many manufacturers are now looking for alternative pigments that can provide similar levels of performance without the same health risks. Overall, Titanium Dioxide is a versatile and widely used pigment in the paint industry. Its ability to provide a durable and long-lasting finish, coupled with its low cost, make it an attractive option for manufacturers and consumers alike. However, as concerns about health risks continue to be studied, it is likely that we will see more research into alternative pigments that can provide similar benefits without the same potential health risks.
