Titanium Dioxide Derived Materials with Superwettability

Graphite / Titanium Dioxide Composite

Nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) in its anatase form is the most frequently studied and as well as used photocatalyst. There are several syntheses procedures which enable to achieve photocatalytic TiO2. The solgel method utilizing titanium alkoxides is used most often. Alternative precursors such as titanium tetrachloride and titanyl sulphate are also frequently employed. Nowadays the environm...

Achieving Stable Results with Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide has been a favored high index material by some, but it appears to be less popular with others because of difficulties in obtaining a stable result. We discuss what we think is the root of the problem and how it may be rectified. The need to have negligible absorption places a lower limit on the background oxygen pressure and some constraints on temperature and deposition rate. ...

Titanium Dioxide in Sunscreen

Titanium dioxide has been used in various industrial and cosmetic applications due to its unique elemental properties. This substance has a refractive index higher than most other compounds (n = 2.6142, in comparison to water at 20°C n = 1.33). This allows titanium dioxide to have an iridescent and bright quality. It has been used in the cosmetics industry for “whitening” and “thickening” in mu...

Carcinogenicity Assessment of Titanium Dioxide

Introduction Titanium dioxide is a white mineral that is used to color paints, plastics, paper and other materials and is approved by the FDA as both a direct (with restricted uses) and indirect food additive. It is a non-genotoxic poorly soluble particulate. As such it has been found to not cause cancer by various routes in a number of animal models except for the rat. Titanium dioxide, as wit...
