nano-sized titanium dioxide tio2 powder was prepared by new wet chemical route from its precursor titanium (iv) chloride (ticl4) as precursor with isopropoxy alcohol in presence of nitric acid under ambient condition. their morphologies, phase compositions and components of the tio2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (tem), field emission scanning electron micr...

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...

A simple single-stage approach, based on the hydrothermal technique, has been introduced to synthesize reduced graphene oxide/titanium dioxide nanocomposites. The titanium dioxide nanoparticles are formed at the same time as the graphene oxide is reduced to graphene. The triethanolamine used in the process has two roles. It acts as a reducing agent for the graphene oxide as well as a capping ag...

The potential health effects of inhaled engineered nanoparticles are almost unknown. To avoid and replace toxicity studies with animals, a triple cell co-culture system composed of epithelial cells, macrophages and dendritic cells was established, which simulates the most important barrier functions of the epithelial airway. Using this model, the toxic potential of titanium dioxide was assessed...

The treatment of bleach effluent from pulp and paper Industry for COD, colour and AOX removal was investigated using Ultra violet/Hydrogen peroxide process photocatalysed by Titanium dioxide. The Ultra violet / Titanium dioxide process was able to remove 48% and 37% of COD and colour. The Ultra violet / Hydrogen peroxide process was able to remove 52% and 59% of COD and colour. The combined pro...

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) materials have been intensively studied in the past years because of many varied applications. This mini review article focuses on TiO₂ micro and nano architectures with the prevalent crystal structures (anatase, rutile, brookite, and TiO₂(B)), and summarizes the major advances in the surface and interface engineering and applications in environmental and electrochemical...

Background and aims. Incorporation of nano-particles to orthodontic bonding systems has been considered to prevent enamel demineralization around appliances. This study investigated cytotoxicity of Transbond XT adhesive containing 1 wt% titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-particles. Materials and methods. Ten composite disks were prepared from each of the conventional and TiO2-containg composites and ...

The potential immune effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO₂) are raising concern. Our previous study verified that nano-TiO₂ induce local immune response in lung tissue followed by intratracheal instillation administration. In this study, we aim to evaluate the systemic immune effects of nano-TiO₂. Sprague Dawley rats were treated by intratracheal instillation with nano-TiO₂ at do...
