title = "Coatings of polymers with TiO2 nanoparticles by sonochemical method",
abstract = "A titania film was deposited on polycarbonate and parylene-coated glass by a one-step, ultrasound-assisted procedure. The TiO2 nanoparticles formed during the hydrolysis of Ti(i-OPr)4 were thrown at the solid surface by sonochemical microjets and strongly anchored to the polymers. Polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone was used to stabilize the uniform distribution of TiO2 on the polymers surface. The morphology and structure of the coated films were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, AFM, and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties were evaluated by measuring the water contact angle. The photocatalytic properties of the titania-modified polymers were estimated in the photo discoloration of methylene blue dye, and high activity in its bleaching was demonstrated. The experimental results revealed a correlation between the uniformity of the nanostructured anatase titania film and its photocatalytic properties.",
