A new nano-hybrid material prepared by physical mixing of the components was used in biomedical applications where three samples of the prepared materials were used to determine the best composition as an antibacterial and anticancer agent in addition to its use as an antifungal agent. In the case of antimicrobials, two types of bacteria were used: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and one type of fungus was used: Candida albicans. The area of inhibition was calculated after using the hybrid material of 2.5% titanium oxide with iron oxide, which gave better results than pure iron oxide and that mixed with 5% titanium dioxide.
