Microwave absorption of magnesium/hydrogen-treated titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Aggregation and Toxicology of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles

In their study of inhalation exposure of titanium dioxide particles, Grassian et al. (2007) presented a transmission electron micrograph (TEM) (their Figure 2A) as an image of “dispersed” TiO2 nanoparticles. Yet, the TiO2 nanoparticles in this TEM do not appear to be dispersed. There is clear evidence of self-organization of the nanoparticles into distinct assemblages, separated by relatively l...

Synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using Echinacea purpurea herba

Nowadays green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a developing area of research. In this study, titanium dioxide nanoparticles were biosynthesized using an aqueous solution of Echinacea purpurea herba extract as a bioreductant. This is novel and interesting method for synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles. The prepared titanium dioxide nanoparticles were characterized using ultraviolet–visible spect...

[Titanium dioxide nanoparticles: occupational exposure limits].

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is produced in Poland as a high production volume chemical (HPVC). It is used mainly as a pigment for paints and coatings, plastics, paper, and also as additives to food and pharmaceuticals. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are increasingly applied in cosmetics, textiles and plastics as the ultraviolet light blocker. This contributes to a growing occupational exposure to T...
