To evaluate the features of the nanoadsorbent, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy tests were performed, to discover the chemical bonding and physical interactions, respectively. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analyses were performed to investigate the morphology of the nanoparticles and the thermal behavior of the samples, respectively. The maximum sorption capacity of the drug at optimal conditions (pH = 6, temperature of 20 °C, and contact time of 15 min) was 16.01 mg g<sup>−1</sup>. The pH<sub>pzc</sub> value of 4 was also determined for the nanoadsorbent. The adsorption procedure was investigated based on the correlation coefficient values of the non-linear isotherm models (Langmuir (0.9977), Freundlich (0.9648), Temkin (0.9697), and Dubbini-Radushkevich (0.9254)). It is recommended that the sorption procedure fits best with the Langmuir model. The pseudo-2<sup>nd</sup>-order kinetic model shows the most appropriate alignment with the sorption kinetics, exhibiting a correlation coefficient of unity. In vitro drug release after 6 h indicated a release rate of 61.55 % at pH = 7.4 (T = 45 °C) and a release rate of 21.90 % at pH = 7.4 (T = 37 °C), which means it has controlled temperature-responsive behavior. The relative release of the drug from the nanocarrier under near-infrared laser irradiation reached up to 100 % over 15 min, achieving on-demand drug release. The release of the drug occurs in a controlled manner through the non-Fickian diffusion mechanism and follows the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model.

While Ni–Ti SMAs have been widely used in biomedical applications due to their excellent shape deformation and recovery strains, concerns about their hypersensitivity remain. As a result, this study shifts its focus from Ni–Ti alloys to biocompatible β-Ti SMAs. Specifically, this work investigates Ti-based SMAs modified with neutral elements, examining 3 alloy systems: (i) Ti–Zr–Hf, (ii) Ti–Zr–Sn, and (iii) Ti–Zr–Hf–Sn. Among the alloys tested, the Ti–38Zr–10Hf alloy stood out as the most promising, exhibiting the lowest phase transformation temperature (<em>T</em><sub>p</sub>) of 802 K, making it an ideal candidate for further Sn addition. In terms of phase stabilization, the β-phase could not be stabilized at room temperature (RT) with just the addition of Zr and Hf (set (i) alloys). However, both the Ti–Zr–Sn (set (ii)) and Ti–Zr–Hf–Sn (set (iii)) alloys successfully stabilized the β-phase at RT. Notably, the addition of neutral elements did not significantly affect the lattice constant of the β-phase, suggesting that these alloys have high potential for lattice deformation strain. This indicates their suitability for SMA applications. Additionally, the micro Vickers hardness of the Sn-added alloys showed a clear minimum near the martensite transformation start temperature (<em>M</em><sub>s</sub>), which is a typical phenomenon in SMAs. The lowest hardness was observed when Sn was added in the range of 5–6 mol%.
