In this study, it is aimed to prepare polyvinyl borate (PVB)/titanium dioxide (TiO₂) composites through the condensation reaction of polyvinyl alcohol and boric acid in the presence of TiO₂ nanoparticles. The scope of this study contains the photocatalytic activity of the prepared composites with varying TiO₂ content from 0 to 35 wt.% for the degradation of methylene blue in aqueous medium under UV light irradiation. The structure and morphological properties of the prepared composites were studied with FTIR, TGA, EDX, SEM and TEM analyses. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples was analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer measurements. In parallel with TiO₂ content up to 30 wt.%, the photocatalytic activity of PVB/TiO₂ composites was enhanced and the composites exhibited higher discoloration rate of the model dye, methylene blue.     

Photocatalytic activities of poly(methyl methacrylate)/titanium dioxide nanofiber mat

This study aimed to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanofiber mat. TiO₂ nanoparticles in crystal phase were first prepared by sol-gel process and then PMMA/TiO₂ nanofiber mat was prepared through electrospinning. The composite (PMMA/TiO₂) nanofiber mat was compared with that of pure PMMA nanofiber mat through performing FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, weight loss and water contact angle measurements. The photocatalytic activity of PMMA/TiO₂ nanofiber mat was evaluated by investigating both the photocatalytic decomposition of a model dye, methylene blue, and photocatalytic degradation of the composite nanofiber mat in the ambient air under ultraviolet light irradiation.     

Heterogeneous composite titanium dioxide photocatalysts on phosphate supports

A series of heterogeneous composite photocatalysts was prepared by the deposition of titanium dioxide on porous magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, titanium phosphate, zirconium phosphate, and aluminum phosphate supports. The activities of these photocatalysts were compared in the photodecomposition of Rhodamine C dye by the action of UV irradiation. The best functional characteristics were found for the photocatalysts on the magnesium phosphate support treated at 750°C. The use of the photocatalysts on phosphate supports was found to hold promise in photocatalytic water purification.

Photocatalytic reduction of dichromate by titanium dioxide supported on hollow glass microbeads

The photocatalytic reduction of dichromate using TiO2/beads as a photocatalyst was studied. The results showed that 3.8 × 10-4 mol/dm3 of dichromate can be completely reduced into Cr3 after illumination for 35 min with a 375 W medium pressure mercury lamp. The effects of factors such as the amount of TiO2/beads , initial concentration of dichromate, initial pH, nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere, and concentration of Fe3 on the photocatalytic reduction of dichromate were investigated. A possible mechamism of the photocatalytic reaction was proposed. After illumination for 200 h, no significant loss of photocatalytic activity of TiO2/beads was observed.

Effect of Metal Inclusions on the Porous Structure and Photocatalytic Activity of Titanium Dioxide

A study was carried out on the effect of the inclusion of a series of transition metals (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zr, Mo) and also Al, Si, Zn, and Sn into titanium dioxide on its porous structure, anatase formation, and photocatalytic activity in the generation of molecular hydrogen from aqueous ethanol. An increase in the content of these metals leads to a decrease in photocatalytic activity, while an increase in the anatase content in titanium dioxide leads to an increase in such activity.     

Preparation and characterization of magnetic polymeric composite particles by miniemulsion polymerization

A water‐based magnetite ferrofluid, with an average size of about 10 nm, was prepared in a first step by the chemical coprecipitation of ferrous and ferric salts. Oil‐based styrene (St) magnetite ferrofluid was obtained by the acidification of the water‐based magnetite ferrofluid and the dispersion of the acidified magnetite in St. Magnetic polymeric composite particles (MPCPs) were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization in the presence of the oil‐based St magnetite ferrofluid with hexadecane as a hydrophobe, 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator, and sodium dodecyl sulfate as an emulsifier. Methacrylic acid was used as a comonomer, and hydroxyethyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone were used as aid stabilizers subsequently. With the aim of improving the encapsulation degree of magnetite, avoiding pure polymer particles and exposed magnetite particles, and obtaining the narrowest particle size distributions, the encapsulation conditions of magnetite were investigated in detail. The results show that miniemulsion polymerization is an effective method for encapsulating magnetite into a hydrophobic polymer successfully. Exposed magnetite particles and pure polymer particles can be avoided completely by the selection of the appropriate preparation conditions. All the resulting MPCPs exhibited superparamagnetism and possessed some magnetic response. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 4187–4203, 2006     

Bactericidal performance of photocatalytic titanium dioxide particle mixture under ultraviolet and fluorescent light: an in vitro study

When ultraviolet (UV) light comes into contact with titanium dioxide (TiO₂), a variety of free radicals are released to provide a potent oxidizing power. Few reports are available, however, evaluating the bactericidal effects of TiO₂ particle under UV light and fluorescent light (FL) in the same line of research for clinical applications. In the present study, we set out to evaluate the in vitro photocatalytic bactericidal effects on Staphylococcus aureus, which is one of the most common pathogens of infectious disease, in an aqueous system of TiO₂ particles irradiated by UV and FL. A TiO₂ particle mixture containing 0.019 mg/ml of TiO₂ was prepared. A bacterial solution was added dropwise to the mixture, and the resulting product was irradiated by UV or FL light. The colony‐forming units were counted and the bacterial survival rate was calculated. Control samples maintained a relatively high bacterial survival rate. In the TiO₂ mixture group, however, the bacterial survival rate decreased steadily, reaching 9.4% after 60 min of exposure to UV light and 10.9% after 60 min of FL irradiation. Distributing the TiO₂ particles in a water mixture produces highly efficient light absorption and enables greater and more frequent adhesion with bacteria, allowing a high degree of photocatalytic antibacterial action. Although the quantity was inferior to UV, our TiO₂ particles were able to show effective bactericidal activity even under FL. The TiO₂ particle mixture is expected to prove effective in preventing postoperative infection. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Incorporation of titanium dioxide particles into polymer matrix using block copolymer micelles for fabrication of high refractive and transparent organic–inorganic hybrid materials

We report a novel strategy for incorporation of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particles into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to exploit high refractive and transparent organic–inorganic hybrid materials. Formation of TiO₂ particles of around 20 nm was conducted within hydrophilic core of block copolymer micelles of poly(methyl methacrylate‐block‐acrylic acid) (PMMA‐b‐PAA) in toluene via sol–gel process from titanium isopropoxide and hydrochloric acid. Subsequently, incorporation of TiO₂ particles into PMMA matrix was carried out by casting toluene solution of TiO₂ precursor‐loaded copolymer micelles, prepared from PMMA₃₅₀‐b‐PAA₉₃ and the precursor of mole ratio Ti⁴⁺/carboxyl 4.0, and PMMA. Hybrid films of TiO₂/PMMA exhibited high transparency to achieve transmission over 87% at 500 nm at 30 wt % of TiO₂ content. The refractive index of resulting hybrid films at 633 nm linearly increased with TiO₂ content to attain 1.579 at 30 wt % TiO₂, which was 0.1 higher than that of PMMA. Cross‐sectional transmission electron microscope images of TiO₂/PMMA hybrid films showed existence of TiO₂ clusters less than 100 nm, which were probably formed by aggregation or agglutination of TiO₂ particles during a drying process. It was also observed that decomposition temperature of the hybrid films elevated with increasing TiO₂ content. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2011

Photocatalytic decomposition of tetrachloroethylene in the gas phase with titanium dioxide as catalyst

The gas phase photocatalytic destruction of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) was investigated by using an in situ photocatalytic reactor with FT-IR analysis in batch mode. The main products of PCE degradation are CO₂ and COCl₂, with trichloroacetylchloride as an intermediate. It was found that the rate of PCE degradation and the appearance of products in the gas phase are highly dependent on their adsorption properties on the surface of the catalyst, besides other reaction conditions, such as the intensity of irradiation and the composition of the reaction mixture.     

Photocatalytic,phosphorus-doped,anatase oxide layers applicable to titanium implant alloys

Titanium alloys provide excellent corrosion resistance and favorable mechanical properties well suited for a variety of biomaterial applications. The native oxide surface on titanium alloys has been shown to be less than ideal and surface modification is often needed. Previously, an optimized anodization process was shown to form a porous phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide layer on commercially pure Ti grade 4. The anodized layer was shown to improve osseointegration and to reduce bacteria attachment when photocatalytically activated with UVA preillumination. The primary objective of the present study was to create a similar phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide layer on series of titanium alloys including commercially pure Ti grade 4, Ti-6Al-7Nb, Ti-6Al-4V ELI, alpha + beta Ti-15Mo, beta Ti-15Mo, and Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta. Phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide layers were formed on each titanium substrate. Anatase formation was shown to generally increase with oxide thickness, except on substrate alloys containing niobium. Phosphorus uptake was shown to be dependent on the titanium alloy chemistry or microstructure. Anodized layers formed on beta-structured titanium alloys revealed the lowest phosphorus uptake and the most nanosized surface porosity. A methylene blue degradation assay showed anodized layers on commercially pure Ti and both Ti-15Mo alloys to exhibit the highest levels of photocatalytic activity. Given the range of mechanical properties available with the commercially pure Ti and Ti-15Mo alloys, the results of this study indicate the benefits of phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide coatings may be applicable to a wide variety of biomaterial applications.     

Preparation and properties of a new composite photocatalyst based on nanosized titanium dioxide

The use of photocatalysts supported on adsorbents is receiving substantial attention. Supporting TiO₂ with zeolites is found to be one of the best solutions to increase the efficiency of TiO₂-based photocatalysts. This work was focused on simple preparation of a TiO₂/Na-ZSM-5 composite catalyst by the solid state dispersion (SSD) method and its modification with an organic photosensitizer — polythiophene (PT). Using the XRD diffractometry, structure of the new composite catalyst was proved. Beside this composite catalyst, mechanical mixtures of TiO₂-based catalysts with Na-ZSM-5 zeolite were prepared. The efficiency of all five available photocatalysts (TiO₂, TiO₂-PT, mechanical mixture of TiO₂ + Na-ZSM-5, mechanical mixture of TiO₂-PT + Na-ZSM-5, and the modified SSD-PT composite) on photodegradation of 4-chlorophenol was compared. By measuring the formation of chloride ions and decreasing the 4-chlorophenol concentration at two different initial concentrations of 4-chlorophenol in the basic aqueous solution, the photoefficiency and adsorption properties of our photocatalysts were determined.
