In‐plane mechanical response of TiO 2 nanotube arrays is intrinsically characterized by very low elastic moduli and significant damping, while both are strongly affected by presence of adsorbates. These findings suggest use of TiO 2 nanotube arrays as novel types of sensors, actuators as well as highly stretchable coatings in biomedical applications.
