A plate-plate binary colloid system of photocatalytically active titanate and inert clay nanosheets shows macroscopically separated multiphase coexistence. Two liquid crystalline phases and one isotropic phase coexist at high titanate and low clay concentrations whereas the colloids are destabilized at high clay concentrations.

This paper reports hybrid composites based on polyaniline (PANI) and calcium titanate (CaTiO 3 ) perovskite as a nanofiller synthesized by in-situ polymerization technique. Their structure morphology were investigated X-ray diffraction analysis scanning electron microscopy. The XRD shows that the addition of CaTiO in reduced amorphous transforming it into semi-crystalline nature, which agrees w...

In this work, the inductively coupled plasma etching technique was applied to etch the barium titanate thin film. A comparative study of etch characteristics of the barium titanate thin film has been investigated in fluorine-based (CF4/O2, C4F8/O2 and SF6/O2) plasmas. The etch rates were measured using focused ion beam in order to ensure the accuracy of measurement. The surface morphology of et...

We investigated cellular uptake behavior and biological responses of spherical and fibrous titanate nanomaterials in human monocyte THP-1 cells. Two titanate nanofibers (TiNFs), namely TF-1 and TF-2, were synthesized from anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (TNPs) via hydrothermal treatment. The synthesized TiNFs and TNPs were thoroughly characterized for their size, crystallinity, surface area and surf...

Heterostructured photocatalysts comprised of microcrystalline (mc-) cores and nanostructured (ns-) shells were prepared by the sol-gel method. The ability of titania-coated ATiO3 (A = Fe, Pb) and AFeO3 (A = Bi, La, Y) catalysts to degrade methylene blue in visible light (λ > 420 nm) was compared. The catalysts with the titanate cores had enhanced photocatalytic activities for methylene blue deg...

Bone scaffolds made of calcium phosphate polymer nanocomposites have limited osteoinductive properties. Piezoelectric materials attracted considerable interest in bone tissue engineering due to their potential promote osteogenesis through additional electrical stimulation. Time-lapsed micro-CT imaging is a time-effective tool for vitro optimization such but challenged by with high attenuation c...

Hierarchically macro-/mesoporous titanate tubular structures (HTT) self-assembled by nanotubes and nanosheets were fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of titanate glycolate rods in 0.1 M NaOH aqueous solution. Double-layered dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) composed of a P25 nanoparticle (NP) underlayer and a tubular TiO(2) overlayer demonstrated an enhanced photovoltaic conversion efficienc...
