Synthesis and stabilization of nano-sized titanium dioxide

摘要

The published data on the preparation and the dispersion-structural properties of nano-sized TiO2 are considered. Attention is focused on its sol-gel synthesis from different precursors. The possibilities for the purposeful control and stabilization of properties of TiO2 nano-powders and sols are analyzed. Information on physicochemical methods used in studies of the particle size and the phase composition of nanodisperse TiO2 is presented. The prospects of using nano-sized TiO2 in medicine and nanobiotechnology are considered. The bibliography includes 95 references.
