Research on Surface Modification of Nano-TiO2

Abstract:

Different surfactants such as Triethanolamine, Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) are applied in surface modification of nanoTiO2. The dispersion of nanopowder processed with different surfactants in water is evaluated using settlement method, in order to make more even composite films. The result shows that dispersion effect will be better when Triethanolamine is combined with the other two types of surfactants than only single type of surfactant is used. The best surfactant for dispersing nanoTiO2 is the mixture of Triethanolamine and Sodium dodecyl sulfate with mass ratio of 2:1 and 30% of surfactant amount; the experiment condition is set as both stirring and ultrasound times are 15 minutes, the initial settlement time of nanoTiO2 is set as 2.5 hours, and the total settlement time is set as more than 120 hours.
