plastic substrates) has been accomplished using the synthesized water and water-EtOH
dispersible organic-free TiO2 nanopowder. This nanopowder has been synthesized by
refluxing the mixture of Ti (OiPr) 4, EtOH, and H2O in the presence of excess NO3–ion as a
stabilizer at 80° C for 24 h. The nanopowder has a small crystallite size (∼ 5 nm) and a high
specific surface area of about 268 m2 g–1. It is highly dispersible in water (up to 20 wt%) …
