Formation of Olive-like TiO Nanospheres in a Polymeric Mesh by Sol-Gel Method.

Olive-like TiO (titanium dioxide), nanospheres compounds were synthesized. Polysaccharide (1-3 linked β-D galactapyranose and 1.4-linked 3.

Aligned TiO Scaffolds in the Presence of a Galactopyranose Matrix by Sol-Gel Process.

In this work, titanium dioxide scaffolds were synthesized. Titanium isopropoxide (IV) was used as a precursor in its formation, using a polymeric network of galactopyranose as a template. The powder sample obtained was evaluated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA-DTA).
