Surface modification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle is essential to control its surface properties, thereby to enhance its cell penetration capability, reduce its cytotoxicity, or improve its biocompatibility. In order to graft polyvinyl acetate onto TiO2 nanoparticles, xanthate was chemically immobilized on the surface of TiO2 by acylatio...

There is an alarming increase of energy issues due to significant fossil fuel consumption. Some progress has been made to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources, among which, solar energy has always been considered as the ultimate solution to solve these problems. As a relatively new evolved type of solar cell, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC...

After the implantation of a biomaterial in the body, the first interaction occurs between the cells in contact with the biomaterial surface. Therefore, evaluating the cell-substrate interface is crucial for designing a successful implant. In this study, the interaction of MC3T3 osteoblasts was studied on commercially pure and alloy (Ti6Al4V) Ti sur...

TiO2 powders were prepared through the hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide followed by calcination at temperatures of 200 °C to 600 °C. The obtained powders were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption and X-ray powder diffraction. The results confirmed strong dependence between specific surface area of the TiO2 powders and both the conditions of...

In this paper a set of TiO2 and Fe/TiO2 delaminated clays, prepared by different synthesis procedures, was characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. EPR analyses revealed an important shift of the central g-value as consequence of Fe3+ insertion (substitution) in the TiO2 structure by a sensitive and direct method of iron...

Nanolaminate structures have many prospective uses in mechanical, electrical, and optical applications due to the wide selection of materials and precise control over layer thicknesses. In this work, ultrathin Al2O3/TiO2 nanolaminate structures deposited by atomic layer deposition from Me3Al, TiCl4, and H2O precursors with intended bilayer thicknes...

Nanomaterials are the subject of intense research, focused on their synthesis, modification, and biomedical applications. Increased nanomaterial production and their wide range of applications imply a higher risk of human and environmental exposure. Unfortunately, neither environmental effects nor toxicity of nanomaterials to organisms are fully un...

Nitrogen-doped graphene (NDG)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were coated on indium-tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates to fabricate NDG-TiO2 nanocomposite electrodes. 3-methylthiophene (3MT) was electrochemically deposited on the NDG-TiO2 films to form poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MT/NDG/TiO2) composite electrochromic electrodes. The introduction...

Porous titanium dioxide synthesized with a bicontinuous surfactant template is a promising method that leads to a high active surface area electrode. The template used is based on a water/isooctane/dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate salt together with lecithin. Several parameters were varied during the synthesis to understand and optimize channel format...
