Surface Modification of Nano-TiO2 by Titanate Coupling Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

The surface of commercial TiO2 nanoparticles was modified by titanate coupling agent, JSC(isopropyl tricarboxytate titanate), FTIR spectrum confirmed that organic functional groups were successfully grafted onto the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles. The SEM micrographs indicated that the aggregation of modified TiO2 was reduced and most of the particles were approximately 20 nm.
