| Abstract | ||||
| Liquid metals is a group of metallic elements with melting points less than 300 °C. Liquid metals in particular, the post-transition metals used for synthesizing a class of alloys known as eutectic alloys, which melt temperatures Tm are lower than their components. Eutectic alloys, along with eutectic composites, eutectic salts and deep eutectic solvents constitute eutectic material systems which have many advanced applications. Gallium forms unique eutectic alloys with low toxicity, rheological properties, electrical and thermal conductivity, rendering them ideal for biomedical applications. Medical Applications includes eliminating cancer cells and repairing damaged nerves, thus representing a new class of promising materials for technological and biological applications. In this review paper we appraise eutectic materials and emphasize their applications with a focus on medical and biological applications. | ||||
