Effect of PEG Molecular Weight on the TiO2 Particle Structure and TiO2 Thin Films Properties
This research, deals with modification of sol gel process for the synthesis of porous TiO2-
PEG thin films with good structural integrity for environmental self-cleaning applications.
Relatively, by adding the PEG with various molecular weights (300, 400, and 600) could influence
the formation of TiO2 films structure and adhesion. Moreover, the formation of porous TiO2
associated with larger pores will accelerate the mass transfer of the treated contaminants in the
larger pore channels. The advantages of the unique structures of as-prepared TiO2â‚‚ films in the
application of environmental self-cleaning systems are extensively studied by characterizing the
produced films using various advanced characterization tools. Adhesion of TiO2 thin films become
smooth and better surface with increasing the coating layers. The X-ray Diffraction spectrum of
prepared coating shows present of anatase phase as major phas
