Product Overview
Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles in the anatase form, stabilized by dodecylphosphonic acid and hexylamine, represent a sophisticated development in nanomaterial technology. This hydrophobic formulation enhances the compatibility of titanium oxide with various organic solvents and matrices, making it especially useful in applications requiring robust water resistance and chemical stability. The anatase form of titanium dioxide is known for its high photocatalytic activity and UV light absorption, which are preserved and even enhanced by this stabilization and surface treatment.
Key factor
- Stabilization Agents: Dodecylphosphonic acid and hexylamine not only confer hydrophobic properties but also improve the dispersion stability of the nanoparticles in nonpolar environments.
- Hydrophobicity: The hydrophobic surface reduces the energy interactions with water, making the nanoparticles ideal for use in environments where resistance to moisture is critical.
- Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity: The anatase form is inherently photocatalytic under UV light, and stabilization does not impede, but can actually enhance, this property by preventing agglomeration.
- Compatibility with Organic Systems: The surface treatment ensures that these nanoparticles can be easily incorporated into various resins, coatings, and polymers without adverse effects.
- Particle Size and Distribution: Maintains a narrow particle size distribution that is critical for consistent performance in targeted applications.
Applications
- Protective Coatings: Used in coatings that require excellent hydrophobic properties as well as UV protection and self-cleaning features due to photocatalytic activity.
- Plastics and Composites: Enhances the performance of plastics and composites by providing UV protection and improving mechanical properties without compromising hydrophobicity.
- Cosmetics: Ideal for sunscreen formulations where water resistance and UV protection are paramount.
- Automotive Coatings: Applied in automotive paints and finishes to offer durability against weathering and UV light, while also providing an easy-to-clean surface.
- Biomedical Surfaces: Utilized in biomedical device coatings to impart antimicrobial properties through photocatalysis, while ensuring compatibility with body fluids.
Advantages
- Improved Durability: The hydrophobic nature and stable dispersion contribute to longer-lasting performance in coatings and composites.
- Enhanced UV Protection: Provides effective shielding against UV radiation, protecting underlying materials and substances from degradation.
