This review describes the main successful strategies that are used to grow mesostructured
nanocrystalline metal oxide and SiO2 films via deposition of sol–gel derived solutions. In …

The modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were fabricated by grafting acrylic
acid on the membrane and coating it with titanium dioxide sol. TiO 2 sols were prepared …

Titanium dioxide photocatalysts have received a lot of attention during the past decades due
to their ability to degrade various organic pollutants to CO 2 and H 2 O, which makes them …

Thermal stability of nanocrystalline anatase TiO 2 against coarsening and anatase–rutile
phase transformation was studied using both a pyroprobe heater and a conventional …

Controlling the morphological structure of titanium dioxide (TiO 2) is crucial for obtaining
superior power conversion efficiency for dye‐sensitized solar cells. Although the sol–gel …

The synthesis of TiO 2–chitosan nanocomposite photocatalyst using Titanium (IV)-
Isopropoxide (TTIP) as precursors and chitosan as host material has been conducted. The …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate in-vitro surface characteristics and frictional properties of
orthodontic stainless steel and beta-titanium archwires after surface modification with …

In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO 2) thin films are synthesized by the simple sol-gel process
using the dip-coating technique at various pH values (pH 6, 4 and 2). The influence of acidic …

TiO 2 is a prototypical transition metal oxide with physicochemical properties that can be
modified more readily through sol–gel synthesis than through other techniques. Herein, we …

A convenient method for the preparation of transparent, photocatalytic titania thin films is
described. The films do not require annealing or thermal processing to develop …
