Comparison of the Long-Term Stability of TiO2 Hydrosols with Different Concentration of Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The long-term stability of two TiO2 hydrosols with concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles 1 and 12 mass.% was compared by turbidimetry and dynamic light scattering. The both sols were stabilized by HCl at pH=0.5. It was found that the mean hydrodynamic radius of particles and the turbidity of the sols increased slowly for six months of investigation and the kinetics of the “ageing” of the sols did not depend on TiO2 concentration. The obtained results will enable to determine mechanisms of the slow growth of nanoparticles and to modify nanoparticles structure.
