The aims of this thesis are to produce and investigate quality \textit{TFMGs} and \textit{SMGs} for biomedical applications. Thin films of established bulk metallic glass (\textit{BMG}) compositions, such as Mg$_{65}$Zn$_{30}$Ca$_{5}$ will be deposited onto various substrates including; \textit{BMGs} of similar film composition, Polycaprolactone (\textit{PCL}) scaffolds, and dissolvable NaCl substrate (to allow base film to be studied independently). The properties and characteristics of the films as well as their property modification effects on the different substrates will be investigated, and the characterised films compared with their \textit{BMG} counterparts.   \begin{equation}  \label{eqn:test-equation}  \nabla_{\rm rad} = \frac{3F\kappa}{4acg}\frac{P}{T^4} > \nabla_{\rm ad}.  \end{equation}
