Effect of PEG Molecular Weight on the TiO₂Particle Structure and TiO₂Thin Films Properties

Abstract:

This research, deals with modification of sol gel process for the synthesis of porous TiO₂-PEG thin films with good structural integrity for environmental self-cleaning applications. Relatively, by adding the PEG with various molecular weights (300, 400, and 600) could influence the formation of TiO₂ films structure and adhesion. Moreover, the formation of porous TiO₂ associated with larger pores will accelerate the mass transfer of the treated contaminants in the larger pore channels. The advantages of the unique structures of as-prepared TiO₂₂ films in the application of environmental self-cleaning systems are extensively studied by characterizing the produced films using various advanced characterization tools. Adhesion of TiO₂ thin films become smooth and better surface with increasing the coating layers. The X-ray Diffraction spectrum of prepared coating shows present of anatase phase as major phase.
