Electroblown titanium dioxide and titanium dioxide/silicon dioxide submicron fibers with and without titania nanorod layer for strontium(II) uptake

Graphite / Titanium Dioxide Composite

Nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) in its anatase form is the most frequently studied and as well as used photocatalyst. There are several syntheses procedures which enable to achieve photocatalytic TiO2. The solgel method utilizing titanium alkoxides is used most often. Alternative precursors such as titanium tetrachloride and titanyl sulphate are also frequently employed. Nowadays the environm...

Titanium Dioxide in Sunscreen

Titanium dioxide has been used in various industrial and cosmetic applications due to its unique elemental properties. This substance has a refractive index higher than most other compounds (n = 2.6142, in comparison to water at 20°C n = 1.33). This allows titanium dioxide to have an iridescent and bright quality. It has been used in the cosmetics industry for “whitening” and “thickening” in mu...

Carcinogenicity Assessment of Titanium Dioxide

Introduction Titanium dioxide is a white mineral that is used to color paints, plastics, paper and other materials and is approved by the FDA as both a direct (with restricted uses) and indirect food additive. It is a non-genotoxic poorly soluble particulate. As such it has been found to not cause cancer by various routes in a number of animal models except for the rat. Titanium dioxide, as wit...

Titanium Dioxide Nanofibers through Forcespinning

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers with potential applications in the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells, photocatalysts, gas sensors, and water treatment systems, among others, have been produced at large yield rates utilizing the Forcespinning (FS) technology. This study presents the results of research performed to determine optimal processing parameters to create TiO2 nanofibers at a...
