Dispersion of titanium dioxide

The effects of improved wettability, entropic repulsion, and sterical hindrance undoubtedly play a role in stabilizing dispersed solid particles by block or graft copolymers. However, since the dispersions of titanium dioxide in toluene stabilized by carboxylated styrene-butadiene block copolymers are so much more stable than dispersions stabilized by carboxylated homopolymers under otherwise identical conditions, we must assume that an additional factor comes into play when block copolymers are used. The model in Figure 1 is an attempt to explain this additional... 

CNC LIGHT DULLER CA is a cationic dispersion of titanium dioxide. In most all cases, the product will not cause mark-off if properly applied. The nature of the product is to lie on the surface of the cloth consequently, if a fine dispersion of T102 is not used, chalking or mark-off will occur. 

Talcs (RI 1.55) are hydrated magnesium silicates. It is extremely soft and is characterized by its slippery feel. Talc is used in paint to assist the dispersion of titanium dioxide and to improve the application properties of the paint film.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising new alternative method for the removal of organic pollutants in water (Carey, 1976). The degradation of organic pollutants in water, using irradiated dispersions of titanium dioxide, is a growing area of both fundamental and applied research.

The most useful attempt to describe the stability of concentrated systems has been made by Levine -, who concluded that electric double-layer effects are unable to provide the necessary energy barrier for dispersions in hydrocarbon media. A similar conclusion was reached from experimental observations of the stability/opacity of dispersions of titanium-dioxide pigments in alkyd resin solutions. ...

Blending is the other technique for the preparation of CS-based UF membranes. In our recent publication, Kumar et al. [70] used CS as an additive for the preparation of PSf/titanium dioxide nanotube hybrid membranes. The addition of CS resulted in increased hydrophilicity of the membrane, acted as pore former, and also resulted in uniform dispersion of titanium dioxide nanotubes in the blend or membrane. Further, Kumar et al. [71] prepared A-propylphosphonic chitosan (NPPCS), a novel derivative of CS that acted as a suitable additive for the enhancement of PSf UF properties. Due to the insolubility of NPPCS in common organic solvents, a new process was demonstrated for the blending of PSf and NPPCS. The same group, Kumar et al. [46], used CS as an additive for the improvement of the permeation and antifouling property of the PSf UF membrane. A maximum of 5% CS was incorporated into the PSf and CS blend. The permeation and antifouling property of the PSf/CS membranes increased with the increase in CS content.

Figure 3 shows that the titanium CT band observed in Ti0x/Al203 sample occurs at lower wavelength (270 nm) and is shifted to 260 nm after calcination at 773 K. We attribute this shift to a decrease of the polymerization degree of titanium on y-alumina after dehydroxilation, indicating a better dispersion of titanium dioxide at the surface. Moreover, we note that a coordination number of titanium must be six as it is known, the tetrahedral titanium is characterized by a CT band at 205 nm [13].

SOLSPERSE 3000, a hyperdispersant originally developed for the dispersion of titanium dioxide in airdrying paints [5], was identified as showing benefit in the processing of rigid Polyvinylchloride compound. In the case of the Polyethylene masterbatch study, a novel hyperdispersant, SOLPLUS DP310 was developed. This hyperdispersant optimizes both the polymer chain chemistry and the molecular weight to achieve effective dispersion.
