Sol-gel processing of titania using reverse micellar systems as reaction media

Influence of sol and surface properties onin vitro bioactivity of sol-gel-derived TiO2 and TiO2-SiO2 films deposited by dip-coating method

“…The desired properties can be achieved by careful control of reaction conditions or by using suitable additives. [75][76][77][78][79] Dip-coating and its variants are commonly used methods for the sol-gel applications. 77,[80][81][82][83] The objective of this work was to produce different surface films of TiO 2 and TiO 2 -SiO 2 by adjusting the sol pH and composition.…”

Photo‐differential scanning calorimetry study on photopolymerization of nanosized titanium dioxide/polyacrylate hybrid materials

“…However, the precursor TTB is very reactive and direct hydrolysis usually leads to precipitates. For these systems, direct precipitation can be avoided by addition of hydroxylated complexing ligands to the titanium precursor10, 11 or by confinement of water in reverse micelles 12–14. In the reverse micellar solution (as demonstrated in Fig.…”

Effect of different parameters on sonochemical synthesized nanocrystalline TiO2 particles

“…If the data points on the plot fall fairly close to the straight line, then the data are normally distributed [14]. The normal probability plot of the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles iss shown in Figure 2.…”

“…Up to now, the methods for preparing nanometer TiO 2 can be summarized as follows: sol-gel method [11], vapor decomposition of titanium alkyloxides or TiCl 4 in oxygen [12], hydrothermal technique [13], reversed micelle method [14], and oxidation of metallic Ti powder [15]. Sonochemistry, by which influential ultrasound is used to inspire chemical processes in liquids, is currently the focus in a wide range of chemical materials science and technology, since it causes novel chemical reactions and physical changes which do not occur unless sonically inspired.…”
