A simple microwave-assisted (MWI) wet chemical route to synthesize pure anatase phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) is reported here using titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) as starting material. The as-prepared TiO2 NPs were characterized by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV/visible absorption spectroscopy, and infrared and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Further modificatio...

nano-sized titanium dioxide tio2 powder was successfully prepared from its precursor titanium (iv) chloride by a simple and new wet chemical method. ticl4 were used as precursor in hydrogen peroxide, h2o2 and ethanol. this solution was then peptized using nitric acid and heated under reflux at 80°c. their physico-chemical properties were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (t...

The present work reports results of an effort to produce a stack multilayer optical filter on a poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) substrate, using a PECVD technique. Titanium dioxide type of material (n550 = 2.3) has been selected for high refractive index layers while that of silicon dioxide type (n550 = 1.4) served as low refractive index films. For a synthesis of the former material, titaniu...

1. The general features of the reaction by which carbon tetrachloride stimulates lipid peroxidation have been elucidated in rat liver microsomal suspensions and in mixtures of microsomes plus cell sap. The production of lipid peroxides has been correlated with malonaldehyde production in the systems used. 2. The stimulation of malonaldehyde production by carbon tetrachloride requires a source o...

Liver function tests, thyroxin and triiodothyronine levels, and hepatic 5’deiodinase and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activities were measured. Triiodothyronine levels in the carbon tetrachloride group and carbon tetrachloride + selenium group were significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05, respectively). In the carbon tetrachloride + selenium group, the level of triiodothy...

The use of thin-films made by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is increasing in the field optical sensing. ALD TiO2 has been widely characterized for its physical and properties, but systematic information about influence thermal history to mechanical properties film lacking. Optical applications require planar surface tunability refractive index residual stress. In addition, such as elastic modul...
