Synthesis of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles in Natural Rubber Latex Medium

Article Preview

Abstract:

The feasibility of synthesizing TiO2 nanoparticles using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) stabilized titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in natural rubber latex medium was investigated. The TiO2 nanoparticles were separated using centrifugation and were characterized using SEM, TEM and XRD. It was found that the weight fraction of latex loaded in the reaction vessel affects the shape and size of the TiO2 particles
