Looks like you are interested in adhesive bonding of TPU to titanium. Then why not write an overview article on the topic, including typical adhesives, brief description of possible surface preparation for the TPU and titanium, and applications?
Regarding topic 3, there is already a Wikipedia article that discusses methods to measure contact angle, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_angle#Measuring_methods
Please let me know which topic you select. Thanks!
