Natural superhydrophilicity of sol–gel derived SiO2–TiO2 composite films
Sol–gel SiO2–TiO2 mixed films have been deposited from a polymeric SiO2 solution and either a polymeric TiO2 mother solution (MS) or a derived TiO2 crystalline suspension (CS). The chemical and structural composi...

Influence of physico-structural properties on the photocatalytic activity of sol-gel derived TiO2 thin films
Sol-gel TiO2 films were deposited from various sols and heat-treated at different temperatures. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy methods h...

Photo-Induced Hydrophilicity of TiO2 Films Deposited on Stainless Steel via Sol-Gel Technique
The photo-induced hydrophilicity of TiO2 films deposited on stainless steel substrates and silicon wafers using two different sol-gel routes has been investigated. The results indicate that crystalline titanium o...
