Organic Suspension Behavior of Rutile TiO2 Nanoparticles with High Specific Surface Area
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sedimentation properties of the TiO2 nanoparticles with very high specific surface area (about 180m /g) based on the BET method have been investigated in various organic solvents. The TiO2 nanocolloid in the isopropyl alcohol displayed a considerably high electrostatic repulsive force, compared to that in other solvents, with negligible coalescence between the particles. Both the backscattered light flux measurements and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that in the cases of water, methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol, a progressive sedimentation of the TiO2 particles was observed at the bottom due to a flocculation-induced particle growth, while a very stable TiO2 dispersion was observed in isopropyl alcohol.
