Special considerations according to inverse gas chromatography, PMMA is considered acidic, it therefore interacts better with fillers which have basic character PMMA was found to form thick layers adsorbed on the surface of glass, titanium dioxide, silica and mica (1400, 51-70, 17, and 110 nm thick, respectively) very strong interaction between polymer and titanium dioxide caused formation of brittle coatings which failed prematurely formation of clay/K2S2O complex is a reason for catalytic effect on polymerization, the composites formed have better thermal stability, hardness, and compression strength ""...

Thermolysis is used in the coating of glass and other surfaces with a film of titanium dioxide. When a lower alkoxide, eg, TYZOR TPT, vaporizes in a stream of dry air and is blown onto hot glass botdes above ca 500°C, a thin, transparent protective coating of Ti02 is deposited. 

Titanium Dioxide. The recrystallization of titanium dioxide in a cover-coat glass is very important to the development of thin, highly opaque finish coats. Titania, Ti02, is the primary opacifying agent for white finish coats. Two polymorphic forms of titania, anatase and mtile, may be present in... 

For microarray work, PLL-PEG-biotin-sAV monolayers adsorbed onto underlying titanium dioxide surfaces (pillars) replaced the b-SAM gold-coated glass surface. While oriented capture agents out-performed their random counterparts, distinct differences in Fab and antibody performance between this new surface and the b-SAM surface were apparent. 

Cover coats such as self-opacified titanium enamels derive their color firoui titanium dioxide crystals nucleated in the glass during tiring of the coating.

These films can be prepared by a variety of routes, only a few of which are mentioned here. The original references should be consulted for more practical details. Titanium dioxide is used as an illustrative example below. First, colloidal solutions are prepared, e.g., from titanium isopropoxide. The resultant sol is concentrated under vacuum at room temperature until its viscosity increases. Then it is spin-coated on to suitable supports (e.g., conducting glass) and fired in an oven. The firing temperature critically controls the morphology of the resultant film as discussed elsewhere [300-303]. Films up to several micrometers thick can be prepared by this simple version of the sol-gel technology [304]. Aerosol or spray pyrolysis is a somewhat related approach [305, 306].
