TiO2 Nanocomposites

A plethora of synthetic routes, however, is currently being developed. These include Ostwald ripening to build hollow anatase spheres and Au-TiO2 nanocomposites (Li and Zeng, 2006), laser ablation (Tsuji et al., 2007), spray pyrolysis (Taniguchi and Bakenov, 2005), among others.

It is well-known that anatase transforms irreversibly to rutile at elevated temperatures [70]. Normally, the phase transformation temperature in air from anatase to rutile titanium oxide is between 600°C and 750°C [71]. From an applicable viewpoint of anatase titanium oxide into a variety of fields, it is deeply desirable to develop thermally stable anatase titanium oxide composites without the phase transformation to mtile under such higher temperature conditions. We have very recently found that fluoroalkyl end-capped vinyltrimethoxysilane oligomer/anatase titanium oxide nanocomposites [Rp—(VM—Si02) —RF/0 -TiO2] can keep completely its...
