Introduction Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is metallic oxide with excellent physical and chemical properties.

With properties of high refractive index, no toxicity, strong stability, high brightness, high covering power, and so forth, TiO 2 has been widely used in fields of coating, plastic, papermaking, printing ink, chemical fiber, and so forth [1–7]. As the photocatalyst, nanometer TiO 2 is applied in fields of water and air purification [8–11], breaking down procedures of organic pollutant degradation [12, 13], medical waste treatment [14, 15], and so forth.

Micro-nano TiO 2 is poor in compatibility with high polymer material because of small grain size, high surface energy, and, especially, strong hydrophilia for surface hydrox- ylation. Actually, the bad dispersity and agglomeration of TiO 2 in organic system impede its pigment performance or photocatalytic performance.

TiO2in application system by adjusting particle surface characteristics Then modification effects were characterized according

to the changes in wetting contact angle and activation index of TiO2before and after modification Moreover the modification

mechanisms of sodium stearate and sodium oleate were studied by analyzing the characteristics of TiO2surface functional groups

inmodification system and effects ofmodifiersThe results showed that after beingwet-processedwith sodium stearate and sodiumoleate TiO

modified TiO2increased from 7∘ to 1256∘ and 1213∘ respectively The dispersity of TiO

2in organic medium was stronger than

that in inorganic medium The modifiers formed absorption with chemical property on TiO2particle surface so the inductive

particle This work conducted surface modification to TiO2

particle in micrometer scale by wet-modification with mod-ifiers sodium stearate and sodium oleate Suspension wasprepared with TiO

2powder and water in the weight ratio of

1 1 and heated to and fixed at 65∘CThen appropriate dosageof modifier was added to adjust pH value of modifier equalto or smaller than 7 The modified suspension was obtainedafter 30 minutes of heat preservation and constant stirringAfter drying and dispersing the modified suspension mod-ified TiO

2powder can be obtained Then the modification

effects of TiO2were characterized according to the changes

of wetting contact angle and activation index in differentliquid mediums before and after modification Finally themodificationmechanisms of TiO

2were studied by testing the

infrared spectrums and analyzing the morphology of surfacefunctional groups before and after modification with sodiumstearate and sodium oleate

2 Experiments

21 Raw Materials and Reagent TiO2used in tests was

Theorganicmodifiers in test sodium stearate and sodiumoleate were all chemically pure reagents provided by BeijingJingweiHuabo Co Ltd The reagents should be disposed as5 water solution by heating

22 Process of TiO2 Organic Modification Surface modifica-tion for TiO

2was conducted by water suspension wet surface

and water in weight ratio of 1 1 (solid content 50) andheated to constant temperature (65∘C) Then the modifiersolution was added to TiO

2water suspension by ratio to

adjust the pH value equal to or less than 7 Modified sus-pension was obtained after thermal insulation and constantstirring for 30 minutes TiO

2powder can be obtained after

drying and dispersing the modified suspension

23 Performance and Structural Characterization231 Wetting Contact Angle Contact angle (120579) refers to theincluded angle between gas-liquid surface and solid-liquidsurface (including liquid) in the junction of three phasesgas liquid and solid As the physical quantity quantitativelyreflecting the wetting degree on solid surface contact anglecan represent the change in surface characteristics of TiO

2

before and aftermodificationTherefore contact angle can be

used to determine the modification effects When measuringthe angle the sample to be tested should be pressed asthe solid slice with smooth surface Then contact anglegauge (JC2000D Shanghai powereach digital technologyequipment Co Ltd) should be used to measure and takephoto of wetting contact angle

232 Activation Index Activation index refers to the per-centage of powder floating on the water-gas interfaceaccounting for the total volume after mixing the modifiedpowder in water Particles with surface hydrophobicity mayfloat on the interface in the comprehensive action of adhesiveforce gravity buoyancy water pressure and so forth inmoist periphery of three phases The stronger the surfacehydrophobicity of particle is the greater the adhesive forcein moist periphery and the larger the floating trend willbe Therefore the floating powder can intuitively reflect thesurface modification effects

2 g modified sample was correctly weighed and placedin pear-shaped funnel with 200mL water After oscillationand stewing the sedimentation at bottom in hierarchy wasintroduced to beaker for drying and weighingThe activationindex of sample119867 could be calculated by following formula

3 Results and Discussion

31 Change of Modified TiO2 Wetting Contact Angle withModifiers and Dosage Figure 1 shows the influences ofmodifier dosage on the contact angle of TiO

2wetted by

water after TiO2particles weremodifiedwith sodium stearate

and sodium oleate Figure 2 shows the microscopic image ofwetting contact angle

According to Figure 1 the contact angle continuouslyenlarged with the increase of modifier dosage after TiO

2is

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleateThe anglesare 1256∘ (modified with sodium stearate) and 1213∘ (mod-ified with sodium oleate) larger than 90∘ critical betweenhydrophile and hydrophobicity when modifier dosage is15 The contact angle of TiO

2is 7∘ before modification

Obviously TiO2surface has turned from strong hydrophilia

to hydrophobicity after modification However the wettingcontact angle on TiO

2surface decreases in small range when

the dosage further increasesThe results show that bothmod-ifiers can change the wettability of TiO

2surface Moreover

the hydrophobicity formed in modification can be controlledwith modifier dosage In other words the wettability on

wetted by water absolute ethyl alcohol and kerosene It canbe seen that the contact angle of modified TiO

2wetted by

absolute ethyl alcohol is about 21∘ while the angle wettedby water is larger than 120∘ (see Figure 1) This means thatthe hydrophilia of TiO

2with alcohol is stronger than that

with water because alcohol has double characters of organicsand water Therefore modified TiO

2with surface strong

hydrophobicity has stronger wetting action than water Thewetting contact angle of modified TiO

2in kerosene (organic

nonpolar solvent) is slightly smaller than that in ethyl alcohol(less than 20∘) In other words the hydrophilia of modifiedTiO2in kerosene is much stronger than that in alcohol

It means that the surface of modified TiO2particle has

stronger organic nonpolarity Moreover the above resultsfurther specify that modifiers form the effective absorptionon the surface of TiO

2particle so the particle turns from

surface hydrophilia to hydrophobicity Figure 3 also showsthat the contact angle of unmodified TiO

2wetted by alcohol

and kerosene is about 20∘ larger than that wetted by waterIn other words the wetness degree of alcohol and keroseneis lower than water This means that unmodified TiO

2has

strong surface hydrophilicityBefore and after modification wetting contact angle of

TiO2particles changed in differentmediumsThismeans that

TiO2particle has extremely strong hydrophilia which may

turn to strong hydrophobicity after organicmodificationThewettability of modified TiO

2particle in organic medium is

stronger than that in inorganic medium which is beneficialto the improvement of dispersity in organic medium

32 Changes in Activation Index of Modified TiO2 Activationindex is an important index evaluating modification The

stronger the hydrophobicity TiO2particles are the larger

the activation index will be Figure 4 shows the changes inactivation index of TiO

2powdermodified by sodium stearate

and sodium oleate According to the figure the activationindex of modified TiO

2greatly increases with the dosages

of sodium stearate and sodium oleate increasing from 0to 15 and from 0 to 1 respectively Moreover theactivation index reached the maximum 986 and 897when the dosages of sodium stearate and sodium oleatewere 15 and 1 respectively However with the furtherincrease of sodium stearate and sodium oleate the activationindex of TiO

2may slightly decrease or keep stable This is

because the surface modification of TiO2is incomplete if the

modifier dosage is little so the activation index is small Withthe increase of modifier dosage however the unimolecularcoverage is realized with modifier on the surface of TiO

2

to make the modifier dosage saturated At this time theactivation index is the maximum If the modifier dosagefurther increases multilayer coats will form on the surfaceof TiO

2particles to make some types of group outward and

reduce the hydrophobicity of TiO2 Therefore the activation

index will decrease The change of activation index showsthat after modifying the sodium stearate and sodium oleateof TiO

2 the hydrophilia on surface will turn to strong

hydrophobic effectsThis is obviously the interaction betweenTiO2particle andmodifiermolecule as well as the coating on

the surface of TiO2[30 31]

This means that TiO2surface turns from hydrophilia

to strong hydrophobicity after being modified with sodiumstearate and sodiumoleateThis is obviously the result of TiO

particle and modifier molecule covering TiO2surface Above

results are consistent with the analysis on contact angle test

33 Function Mechanism of Modifiers and TiO2 Particle

331 IR Analysis on TiO2 Modified with Sodium Stearate andSodium Oleate The mechanism of TiO

2surface showing

strong hydrophobicity can be further understood and hydro-phobicity stability be determined by studying the proper-ties of interaction between modifiers sodium stearate andsodium oleate and TiO

2surfaceTherefore the infrared spec-

troscopies were measured for sodium stearate and sodiumoleate as well as TiO

2modified by these two modifiers

Figures 5 and 6 show the measurement resultsFigure 5 shows that there are symmetrical and dis-

symmetrical characteristic absorption peaks of -CH2- at

2917 cmminus1 and 2849 cmminus1 in the infrared spectroscopy ofsodium stearate (see Figure 5(a)) Moreover there is charac-teristic absorption peak of -CH

3at 2956 cmminus1 and stretching

absorption peaks of carbonyl (C=O) and carboxyl (COO-) at1557 cmminus1 and 1470 cmminus1 All of these reflect the structuralcharacteristics of sodium stearate Compared with raw mate-rial of sodium stearate and TiO

2 there are absorption peaks

at 2996 cmminus1 and 2885 cmminus1 in the infrared spectroscopy ofmodified TiO

2 This is obviously the characteristics of -CH

and -CH3 showing that sodium stearate has attached to TiO

result from the chemical action between functional group ofsodium stearate and surface functional group of TiO

TiO2modified with sodium stearate In the infrared spec-

peaks representing methylene and methyl at 2852 cmminus1 and2922 cmminus1 This means that sodium oleate has attached toTiO2surface The absorption peak at 1465 cmminus1 indicates

in different levels keep in very high value (1306sim1415)The hydroxylation characteristic of unsaturated Ti on

TiO2surface can be deducted according to the hydrolysis

Both of them are composed of long chain of polar hydrophiliccarboxyl and nonpolar hydrophobic alkane They can dis-solve in water solution and then the dissolved componentsare rehydrated The reaction formula is as follows

R-COOminus +H2O 997888rarr R-COOH +OHminus (11)

Dianzuo and Yuehua [34] studied the relationshipbetween the concentration of R-COO and R-COOH insodium oleate solution and pH value (see Figure 9) [34] Thefigure shows that the main morphology of R-COONa is R-COOH in the modification condition of TiO

2 and only few

R-COONa have coexistence of R-COOHandR-COOminus in thiswork Therefore it is believed that the action groups of TiO

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleate are mainlyR-COOH followed by R-COOminus

4 Conclusions

Surface modification was conducted to TiO2particle with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate TiO2particle surface

turns from hydrophilia to hydrophobicity while the hydro-phobicity degree can be controlled by changing modifierdosage

In aqueous medium wetting contact angle of TiO2

particle greatly enlarges after modifying sodium stearate andsodium oleate The increase of activation index shows thatwettability in water medium becomes poor The wettingcontact angle of modified TiO

2particle in absolute ethyl

alcohol and kerosene is significantly lower than that in watermedium showing the good compatibility of organic matrix

TiO2infrared spectroscopic analysis before and after

modification shows that the modifier forms effective attach-ment on TiO

2particle surface With such attachment induc-

tive hydrophobicity forms on TiO2particle surface It is

relatively stable because attachment of modifier has certainchemical propertiesThe actionmodel of TiO

2modified with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate was established based onthe analysis on the functional groups of TiO

particle This work conducted surface modification to TiO2

particle in micrometer scale by wet-modification with mod-ifiers sodium stearate and sodium oleate Suspension wasprepared with TiO

2powder and water in the weight ratio of

1 1 and heated to and fixed at 65∘CThen appropriate dosageof modifier was added to adjust pH value of modifier equalto or smaller than 7 The modified suspension was obtainedafter 30 minutes of heat preservation and constant stirringAfter drying and dispersing the modified suspension mod-ified TiO

2powder can be obtained Then the modification

effects of TiO2were characterized according to the changes

of wetting contact angle and activation index in differentliquid mediums before and after modification Finally themodificationmechanisms of TiO

2were studied by testing the

infrared spectrums and analyzing the morphology of surfacefunctional groups before and after modification with sodiumstearate and sodium oleate

2 Experiments

21 Raw Materials and Reagent TiO2used in tests was

anatase-type titanium oxide powder manufactured by HenanBillions Chemicals Co Ltd In sample test the particle sizewas median diameter (119889

50) of 037 120583m specific surface area

was 6125m2gminus1 whiteness was 9880 covering powerwas 1299 gm2 oil absorption was 2440 g100 g and water-wetting contact angle was 7∘

Theorganicmodifiers in test sodium stearate and sodiumoleate were all chemically pure reagents provided by BeijingJingweiHuabo Co Ltd The reagents should be disposed as5 water solution by heating

22 Process of TiO2 Organic Modification Surface modifica-tion for TiO

2was conducted by water suspension wet surface

modification Suspension was prepared with TiO2powder

and water in weight ratio of 1 1 (solid content 50) andheated to constant temperature (65∘C) Then the modifiersolution was added to TiO

2water suspension by ratio to

adjust the pH value equal to or less than 7 Modified sus-pension was obtained after thermal insulation and constantstirring for 30 minutes TiO

2powder can be obtained after

drying and dispersing the modified suspension

23 Performance and Structural Characterization231 Wetting Contact Angle Contact angle (120579) refers to theincluded angle between gas-liquid surface and solid-liquidsurface (including liquid) in the junction of three phasesgas liquid and solid As the physical quantity quantitativelyreflecting the wetting degree on solid surface contact anglecan represent the change in surface characteristics of TiO

2

before and aftermodificationTherefore contact angle can be

used to determine the modification effects When measuringthe angle the sample to be tested should be pressed asthe solid slice with smooth surface Then contact anglegauge (JC2000D Shanghai powereach digital technologyequipment Co Ltd) should be used to measure and takephoto of wetting contact angle

232 Activation Index Activation index refers to the per-centage of powder floating on the water-gas interfaceaccounting for the total volume after mixing the modifiedpowder in water Particles with surface hydrophobicity mayfloat on the interface in the comprehensive action of adhesiveforce gravity buoyancy water pressure and so forth inmoist periphery of three phases The stronger the surfacehydrophobicity of particle is the greater the adhesive forcein moist periphery and the larger the floating trend willbe Therefore the floating powder can intuitively reflect thesurface modification effects

2 g modified sample was correctly weighed and placedin pear-shaped funnel with 200mL water After oscillationand stewing the sedimentation at bottom in hierarchy wasintroduced to beaker for drying and weighingThe activationindex of sample119867 could be calculated by following formula

3 Results and Discussion

31 Change of Modified TiO2 Wetting Contact Angle withModifiers and Dosage Figure 1 shows the influences ofmodifier dosage on the contact angle of TiO

2wetted by

water after TiO2particles weremodifiedwith sodium stearate

and sodium oleate Figure 2 shows the microscopic image ofwetting contact angle

According to Figure 1 the contact angle continuouslyenlarged with the increase of modifier dosage after TiO

2is

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleateThe anglesare 1256∘ (modified with sodium stearate) and 1213∘ (mod-ified with sodium oleate) larger than 90∘ critical betweenhydrophile and hydrophobicity when modifier dosage is15 The contact angle of TiO

2is 7∘ before modification

Obviously TiO2surface has turned from strong hydrophilia

to hydrophobicity after modification However the wettingcontact angle on TiO

2surface decreases in small range when

the dosage further increasesThe results show that bothmod-ifiers can change the wettability of TiO

2surface Moreover

the hydrophobicity formed in modification can be controlledwith modifier dosage In other words the wettability on

wetted by water absolute ethyl alcohol and kerosene It canbe seen that the contact angle of modified TiO

2wetted by

absolute ethyl alcohol is about 21∘ while the angle wettedby water is larger than 120∘ (see Figure 1) This means thatthe hydrophilia of TiO

2with alcohol is stronger than that

with water because alcohol has double characters of organicsand water Therefore modified TiO

2with surface strong

hydrophobicity has stronger wetting action than water Thewetting contact angle of modified TiO

2in kerosene (organic

nonpolar solvent) is slightly smaller than that in ethyl alcohol(less than 20∘) In other words the hydrophilia of modifiedTiO2in kerosene is much stronger than that in alcohol

It means that the surface of modified TiO2particle has

stronger organic nonpolarity Moreover the above resultsfurther specify that modifiers form the effective absorptionon the surface of TiO

2particle so the particle turns from

surface hydrophilia to hydrophobicity Figure 3 also showsthat the contact angle of unmodified TiO

2wetted by alcohol

and kerosene is about 20∘ larger than that wetted by waterIn other words the wetness degree of alcohol and keroseneis lower than water This means that unmodified TiO

2has

strong surface hydrophilicityBefore and after modification wetting contact angle of

TiO2particles changed in differentmediumsThismeans that

TiO2particle has extremely strong hydrophilia which may

turn to strong hydrophobicity after organicmodificationThewettability of modified TiO

2particle in organic medium is

stronger than that in inorganic medium which is beneficialto the improvement of dispersity in organic medium

32 Changes in Activation Index of Modified TiO2 Activationindex is an important index evaluating modification The

stronger the hydrophobicity TiO2particles are the larger

the activation index will be Figure 4 shows the changes inactivation index of TiO

2powdermodified by sodium stearate

and sodium oleate According to the figure the activationindex of modified TiO

2greatly increases with the dosages

of sodium stearate and sodium oleate increasing from 0to 15 and from 0 to 1 respectively Moreover theactivation index reached the maximum 986 and 897when the dosages of sodium stearate and sodium oleatewere 15 and 1 respectively However with the furtherincrease of sodium stearate and sodium oleate the activationindex of TiO

2may slightly decrease or keep stable This is

because the surface modification of TiO2is incomplete if the

modifier dosage is little so the activation index is small Withthe increase of modifier dosage however the unimolecularcoverage is realized with modifier on the surface of TiO

2

to make the modifier dosage saturated At this time theactivation index is the maximum If the modifier dosagefurther increases multilayer coats will form on the surfaceof TiO

2particles to make some types of group outward and

reduce the hydrophobicity of TiO2 Therefore the activation

index will decrease The change of activation index showsthat after modifying the sodium stearate and sodium oleateof TiO

2 the hydrophilia on surface will turn to strong

hydrophobic effectsThis is obviously the interaction betweenTiO2particle andmodifiermolecule as well as the coating on

the surface of TiO2[30 31]

This means that TiO2surface turns from hydrophilia

to strong hydrophobicity after being modified with sodiumstearate and sodiumoleateThis is obviously the result of TiO

particle and modifier molecule covering TiO2surface Above

results are consistent with the analysis on contact angle test

33 Function Mechanism of Modifiers and TiO2 Particle

331 IR Analysis on TiO2 Modified with Sodium Stearate andSodium Oleate The mechanism of TiO

2surface showing

strong hydrophobicity can be further understood and hydro-phobicity stability be determined by studying the proper-ties of interaction between modifiers sodium stearate andsodium oleate and TiO

2surfaceTherefore the infrared spec-

troscopies were measured for sodium stearate and sodiumoleate as well as TiO

2modified by these two modifiers

Figures 5 and 6 show the measurement resultsFigure 5 shows that there are symmetrical and dis-

symmetrical characteristic absorption peaks of -CH2- at

2917 cmminus1 and 2849 cmminus1 in the infrared spectroscopy ofsodium stearate (see Figure 5(a)) Moreover there is charac-teristic absorption peak of -CH

3at 2956 cmminus1 and stretching

absorption peaks of carbonyl (C=O) and carboxyl (COO-) at1557 cmminus1 and 1470 cmminus1 All of these reflect the structuralcharacteristics of sodium stearate Compared with raw mate-rial of sodium stearate and TiO

2 there are absorption peaks

at 2996 cmminus1 and 2885 cmminus1 in the infrared spectroscopy ofmodified TiO

2 This is obviously the characteristics of -CH

and -CH3 showing that sodium stearate has attached to TiO

surfaceAccording to the comparison the absorption peak of

of absorption peaks at 1557 cmminus1 and 1470 cmminus1 in theinfrared spectrum of sodium stearate It means that thechemical environment of C=O and -COOminus had significantchange after sodium stearate reacted with TiO

2 This may

result from the chemical action between functional group ofsodium stearate and surface functional group of TiO

2(the

hydroxide radical produced in Ti or Ti hydrolysis)Thereforeit is believed that the attachment of sodium stearate to TiO

particle surface has chemical properties Sodium stearateis closely and firmly combined with TiO

changes in surface characteristics of TiO2formodification are

stableAs shown in Figure 6 the infrared spectral features of

TiO2modified with sodium oleate are similar to those of

TiO2modified with sodium stearate In the infrared spec-

troscopy ofmodifiedTiO2 there are characteristic absorption

peaks representing methylene and methyl at 2852 cmminus1 and2922 cmminus1 This means that sodium oleate has attached toTiO2surface The absorption peak at 1465 cmminus1 indicates

that chemical action occurred between -COOminus and TiO2

component The result also shows that even when pH = 0sim1the concentration of OHminus in system is extremely small If theexternal action of hydrolysis is weak no Ti4+ and Ti(OH)3+

component is representedmeaning that the capability of Ti4+is strong in generating various hydroxylates It is obviousbecause the constants (pk

1simpk4) of Ti4+ hydrolysis reaction

in different levels keep in very high value (1306sim1415)The hydroxylation characteristic of unsaturated Ti on

TiO2surface can be deducted according to the hydrolysis

behavior of Ti4+ In other words Ti is covered by a largeamount of hydroxyl so surface functional groups of TiO

2are

mainly OH-group as shown in Figure 8 [33] This is similarwith the molecule model of TiO

water proposed by Huaxiang and Xuxu [33]

3(CH2)16COONa while that of sodium oleate

is CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH

2)7COONa (R-COONa for short)

Both of them are composed of long chain of polar hydrophiliccarboxyl and nonpolar hydrophobic alkane They can dis-solve in water solution and then the dissolved componentsare rehydrated The reaction formula is as follows

R-COONa 997888rarr R-COOminus + Na+ (10)

R-COOminus +H2O 997888rarr R-COOH +OHminus (11)

Dianzuo and Yuehua [34] studied the relationshipbetween the concentration of R-COO and R-COOH insodium oleate solution and pH value (see Figure 9) [34] Thefigure shows that the main morphology of R-COONa is R-COOH in the modification condition of TiO

2 and only few

R-COONa have coexistence of R-COOHandR-COOminus in thiswork Therefore it is believed that the action groups of TiO

2

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleate are mainlyR-COOH followed by R-COOminus

face is covered by R-COOH and R-COOminus attachment so theabsorption peaks reflect hydroxyl in infrared spectroscopy ofTiO2after modification

The reaction model of modifier on TiO2particle surface

in wet process is established as according to above resultanalysis (See Figure 10)

4 Conclusions

Surface modification was conducted to TiO2particle with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate TiO2particle surface

turns from hydrophilia to hydrophobicity while the hydro-phobicity degree can be controlled by changing modifierdosage

In aqueous medium wetting contact angle of TiO2

particle greatly enlarges after modifying sodium stearate andsodium oleate The increase of activation index shows thatwettability in water medium becomes poor The wettingcontact angle of modified TiO

2particle in absolute ethyl

alcohol and kerosene is significantly lower than that in watermedium showing the good compatibility of organic matrix

TiO2infrared spectroscopic analysis before and after

modification shows that the modifier forms effective attach-ment on TiO

2particle surface With such attachment induc-

tive hydrophobicity forms on TiO2particle surface It is

relatively stable because attachment of modifier has certainchemical propertiesThe actionmodel of TiO

2modified with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate was established based onthe analysis on the functional groups of TiO

2particle surface

and the dissociation morphology of modifiers

Figure 1 The wetting contact angle of modified TiO2in water

TiO2particle surface and its degree are controllable Figure 2

intuitively reflects the changes in Figure 1In this work TiO

2wasmodifiedwith sodium stearate and

sodiumoleate (in dosage of 15) respectively Figure 3 showsthe contact angles of modified product and unmodified TiO

2

wetted by water absolute ethyl alcohol and kerosene It canbe seen that the contact angle of modified TiO

2wetted by

absolute ethyl alcohol is about 21∘ while the angle wettedby water is larger than 120∘ (see Figure 1) This means thatthe hydrophilia of TiO

2with alcohol is stronger than that

with water because alcohol has double characters of organicsand water Therefore modified TiO

2with surface strong

hydrophobicity has stronger wetting action than water Thewetting contact angle of modified TiO

2in kerosene (organic

nonpolar solvent) is slightly smaller than that in ethyl alcohol(less than 20∘) In other words the hydrophilia of modifiedTiO2in kerosene is much stronger than that in alcohol

It means that the surface of modified TiO2particle has

stronger organic nonpolarity Moreover the above resultsfurther specify that modifiers form the effective absorptionon the surface of TiO

2particle so the particle turns from

surface hydrophilia to hydrophobicity Figure 3 also showsthat the contact angle of unmodified TiO

2wetted by alcohol

and kerosene is about 20∘ larger than that wetted by waterIn other words the wetness degree of alcohol and keroseneis lower than water This means that unmodified TiO

2has

strong surface hydrophilicityBefore and after modification wetting contact angle of

TiO2particles changed in differentmediumsThismeans that

TiO2particle has extremely strong hydrophilia which may

turn to strong hydrophobicity after organicmodificationThewettability of modified TiO

2particle in organic medium is

stronger than that in inorganic medium which is beneficialto the improvement of dispersity in organic medium

32 Changes in Activation Index of Modified TiO2 Activationindex is an important index evaluating modification The

stronger the hydrophobicity TiO2particles are the larger

the activation index will be Figure 4 shows the changes inactivation index of TiO

2powdermodified by sodium stearate

and sodium oleate According to the figure the activationindex of modified TiO

2greatly increases with the dosages

of sodium stearate and sodium oleate increasing from 0to 15 and from 0 to 1 respectively Moreover theactivation index reached the maximum 986 and 897when the dosages of sodium stearate and sodium oleatewere 15 and 1 respectively However with the furtherincrease of sodium stearate and sodium oleate the activationindex of TiO

2may slightly decrease or keep stable This is

because the surface modification of TiO2is incomplete if the

modifier dosage is little so the activation index is small Withthe increase of modifier dosage however the unimolecularcoverage is realized with modifier on the surface of TiO

2

to make the modifier dosage saturated At this time theactivation index is the maximum If the modifier dosagefurther increases multilayer coats will form on the surfaceof TiO

2particles to make some types of group outward and

reduce the hydrophobicity of TiO2 Therefore the activation

index will decrease The change of activation index showsthat after modifying the sodium stearate and sodium oleateof TiO

2 the hydrophilia on surface will turn to strong

hydrophobic effectsThis is obviously the interaction betweenTiO2particle andmodifiermolecule as well as the coating on

the surface of TiO2[30 31]

This means that TiO2surface turns from hydrophilia

to strong hydrophobicity after being modified with sodiumstearate and sodiumoleateThis is obviously the result of TiO

2

particle and modifier molecule covering TiO2surface Above

results are consistent with the analysis on contact angle test

33 Function Mechanism of Modifiers and TiO2 Particle

331 IR Analysis on TiO2 Modified with Sodium Stearate andSodium Oleate The mechanism of TiO

2surface showing

strong hydrophobicity can be further understood and hydro-phobicity stability be determined by studying the proper-ties of interaction between modifiers sodium stearate andsodium oleate and TiO

2surfaceTherefore the infrared spec-

troscopies were measured for sodium stearate and sodiumoleate as well as TiO

2modified by these two modifiers

Figures 5 and 6 show the measurement resultsFigure 5 shows that there are symmetrical and dis-

symmetrical characteristic absorption peaks of -CH2- at

2917 cmminus1 and 2849 cmminus1 in the infrared spectroscopy ofsodium stearate (see Figure 5(a)) Moreover there is charac-teristic absorption peak of -CH

3at 2956 cmminus1 and stretching

absorption peaks of carbonyl (C=O) and carboxyl (COO-) at1557 cmminus1 and 1470 cmminus1 All of these reflect the structuralcharacteristics of sodium stearate Compared with raw mate-rial of sodium stearate and TiO

2 there are absorption peaks

at 2996 cmminus1 and 2885 cmminus1 in the infrared spectroscopy ofmodified TiO

2 This is obviously the characteristics of -CH

and -CH3 showing that sodium stearate has attached to TiO

surfaceAccording to the comparison the absorption peak of

modified TiO2at 1504 cmminus1 resulted from the displacement

result from the chemical action between functional group ofsodium stearate and surface functional group of TiO

component The result also shows that even when pH = 0sim1the concentration of OHminus in system is extremely small If theexternal action of hydrolysis is weak no Ti4+ and Ti(OH)3+

component is representedmeaning that the capability of Ti4+is strong in generating various hydroxylates It is obviousbecause the constants (pk

1simpk4) of Ti4+ hydrolysis reaction

in different levels keep in very high value (1306sim1415)The hydroxylation characteristic of unsaturated Ti on

TiO2surface can be deducted according to the hydrolysis

behavior of Ti4+ In other words Ti is covered by a largeamount of hydroxyl so surface functional groups of TiO

mainly OH-group as shown in Figure 8 [33] This is similarwith the molecule model of TiO

3(CH2)16COONa while that of sodium oleate

is CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH

2)7COONa (R-COONa for short)

Both of them are composed of long chain of polar hydrophiliccarboxyl and nonpolar hydrophobic alkane They can dis-solve in water solution and then the dissolved componentsare rehydrated The reaction formula is as follows

R-COONa 997888rarr R-COOminus + Na+ (10)

R-COOminus +H2O 997888rarr R-COOH +OHminus (11)

Dianzuo and Yuehua [34] studied the relationshipbetween the concentration of R-COO and R-COOH insodium oleate solution and pH value (see Figure 9) [34] Thefigure shows that the main morphology of R-COONa is R-COOH in the modification condition of TiO

2 and only few

R-COONa have coexistence of R-COOHandR-COOminus in thiswork Therefore it is believed that the action groups of TiO

2

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleate are mainlyR-COOH followed by R-COOminus

4 Conclusions

Surface modification was conducted to TiO2particle with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate TiO2particle surface

turns from hydrophilia to hydrophobicity while the hydro-phobicity degree can be controlled by changing modifierdosage

In aqueous medium wetting contact angle of TiO2

particle greatly enlarges after modifying sodium stearate andsodium oleate The increase of activation index shows thatwettability in water medium becomes poor The wettingcontact angle of modified TiO

2particle in absolute ethyl

alcohol and kerosene is significantly lower than that in watermedium showing the good compatibility of organic matrix

TiO2infrared spectroscopic analysis before and after

modification shows that the modifier forms effective attach-ment on TiO

2particle surface With such attachment induc-

tive hydrophobicity forms on TiO2particle surface It is

relatively stable because attachment of modifier has certainchemical propertiesThe actionmodel of TiO

2modified with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate was established based onthe analysis on the functional groups of TiO

2particle surface

and the dissociation morphology of modifiers

of absorption peaks at 1557 cmminus1 and 1470 cmminus1 in theinfrared spectrum of sodium stearate It means that thechemical environment of C=O and -COOminus had significantchange after sodium stearate reacted with TiO

2 This may

result from the chemical action between functional group ofsodium stearate and surface functional group of TiO

2(the

hydroxide radical produced in Ti or Ti hydrolysis)Thereforeit is believed that the attachment of sodium stearate to TiO

2

particle surface has chemical properties Sodium stearateis closely and firmly combined with TiO

2particle so the

changes in surface characteristics of TiO2formodification are

stableAs shown in Figure 6 the infrared spectral features of

TiO2modified with sodium oleate are similar to those of

TiO2modified with sodium stearate In the infrared spec-

troscopy ofmodifiedTiO2 there are characteristic absorption

peaks representing methylene and methyl at 2852 cmminus1 and2922 cmminus1 This means that sodium oleate has attached toTiO2surface The absorption peak at 1465 cmminus1 indicates

that chemical action occurred between -COOminus and TiO2

in sodium oleate Therefore sodium oleate is also closelycombined with TiO

component The result also shows that even when pH = 0sim1the concentration of OHminus in system is extremely small If theexternal action of hydrolysis is weak no Ti4+ and Ti(OH)3+

component is representedmeaning that the capability of Ti4+is strong in generating various hydroxylates It is obviousbecause the constants (pk

1simpk4) of Ti4+ hydrolysis reaction

in different levels keep in very high value (1306sim1415)The hydroxylation characteristic of unsaturated Ti on

TiO2surface can be deducted according to the hydrolysis

behavior of Ti4+ In other words Ti is covered by a largeamount of hydroxyl so surface functional groups of TiO

2are

mainly OH-group as shown in Figure 8 [33] This is similarwith the molecule model of TiO

2with surface attached with

water proposed by Huaxiang and Xuxu [33]

333 DissociationMorphology of SodiumStearate and SodiumOleate in Water Solution The molecular formula of sodiumstearate is CH

3(CH2)16COONa while that of sodium oleate

is CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH

2)7COONa (R-COONa for short)

Both of them are composed of long chain of polar hydrophiliccarboxyl and nonpolar hydrophobic alkane They can dis-solve in water solution and then the dissolved componentsare rehydrated The reaction formula is as follows

R-COONa 997888rarr R-COOminus + Na+ (10)

R-COOminus +H2O 997888rarr R-COOH +OHminus (11)

Dianzuo and Yuehua [34] studied the relationshipbetween the concentration of R-COO and R-COOH insodium oleate solution and pH value (see Figure 9) [34] Thefigure shows that the main morphology of R-COONa is R-COOH in the modification condition of TiO

2 and only few

R-COONa have coexistence of R-COOHandR-COOminus in thiswork Therefore it is believed that the action groups of TiO

2

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleate are mainlyR-COOH followed by R-COOminus

face is covered by R-COOH and R-COOminus attachment so theabsorption peaks reflect hydroxyl in infrared spectroscopy ofTiO2after modification

The reaction model of modifier on TiO2particle surface

in wet process is established as according to above resultanalysis (See Figure 10)

4 Conclusions

Surface modification was conducted to TiO2particle with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate TiO2particle surface

turns from hydrophilia to hydrophobicity while the hydro-phobicity degree can be controlled by changing modifierdosage

In aqueous medium wetting contact angle of TiO2

particle greatly enlarges after modifying sodium stearate andsodium oleate The increase of activation index shows thatwettability in water medium becomes poor The wettingcontact angle of modified TiO

2particle in absolute ethyl

alcohol and kerosene is significantly lower than that in watermedium showing the good compatibility of organic matrix

TiO2infrared spectroscopic analysis before and after

modification shows that the modifier forms effective attach-ment on TiO

2particle surface With such attachment induc-

tive hydrophobicity forms on TiO2particle surface It is

relatively stable because attachment of modifier has certainchemical propertiesThe actionmodel of TiO

2modified with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate was established based onthe analysis on the functional groups of TiO

2particle surface

and the dissociation morphology of modifiers

component The result also shows that even when pH = 0sim1the concentration of OHminus in system is extremely small If theexternal action of hydrolysis is weak no Ti4+ and Ti(OH)3+

component is representedmeaning that the capability of Ti4+is strong in generating various hydroxylates It is obviousbecause the constants (pk

in different levels keep in very high value (1306sim1415)The hydroxylation characteristic of unsaturated Ti on

TiO2surface can be deducted according to the hydrolysis

behavior of Ti4+ In other words Ti is covered by a largeamount of hydroxyl so surface functional groups of TiO

2are

mainly OH-group as shown in Figure 8 [33] This is similarwith the molecule model of TiO

2with surface attached with

water proposed by Huaxiang and Xuxu [33]

333 DissociationMorphology of SodiumStearate and SodiumOleate in Water Solution The molecular formula of sodiumstearate is CH

3(CH2)16COONa while that of sodium oleate

is CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH

2)7COONa (R-COONa for short)

Both of them are composed of long chain of polar hydrophiliccarboxyl and nonpolar hydrophobic alkane They can dis-solve in water solution and then the dissolved componentsare rehydrated The reaction formula is as follows

R-COONa 997888rarr R-COOminus + Na+ (10)

R-COOminus +H2O 997888rarr R-COOH +OHminus (11)

Dianzuo and Yuehua [34] studied the relationshipbetween the concentration of R-COO and R-COOH insodium oleate solution and pH value (see Figure 9) [34] Thefigure shows that the main morphology of R-COONa is R-COOH in the modification condition of TiO

2 and only few

R-COONa have coexistence of R-COOHandR-COOminus in thiswork Therefore it is believed that the action groups of TiO

2

modified with sodium stearate and sodium oleate are mainlyR-COOH followed by R-COOminus

4 Conclusions

Surface modification was conducted to TiO2particle with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate TiO2particle surface

turns from hydrophilia to hydrophobicity while the hydro-phobicity degree can be controlled by changing modifierdosage

In aqueous medium wetting contact angle of TiO2

particle greatly enlarges after modifying sodium stearate andsodium oleate The increase of activation index shows thatwettability in water medium becomes poor The wettingcontact angle of modified TiO

2particle in absolute ethyl

alcohol and kerosene is significantly lower than that in watermedium showing the good compatibility of organic matrix

TiO2infrared spectroscopic analysis before and after

modification shows that the modifier forms effective attach-ment on TiO

2particle surface With such attachment induc-

tive hydrophobicity forms on TiO2particle surface It is

relatively stable because attachment of modifier has certainchemical propertiesThe actionmodel of TiO

2modified with

Figure 10 Schematic diagram of TiO2modified by sodium stearate and sodium oleate

hydrocarbon chain distribute externally on particle surfaceTherefore TiO

2has strong hydrophobicity OHminus onTiO

2sur-

face is covered by R-COOH and R-COOminus attachment so theabsorption peaks reflect hydroxyl in infrared spectroscopy ofTiO2after modification

The reaction model of modifier on TiO2particle surface

in wet process is established as according to above resultanalysis (See Figure 10)

4 Conclusions

Surface modification was conducted to TiO2particle with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate TiO2particle surface

turns from hydrophilia to hydrophobicity while the hydro-phobicity degree can be controlled by changing modifierdosage

In aqueous medium wetting contact angle of TiO2

particle greatly enlarges after modifying sodium stearate andsodium oleate The increase of activation index shows thatwettability in water medium becomes poor The wettingcontact angle of modified TiO

2particle in absolute ethyl

alcohol and kerosene is significantly lower than that in watermedium showing the good compatibility of organic matrix

TiO2infrared spectroscopic analysis before and after

modification shows that the modifier forms effective attach-ment on TiO

2particle surface With such attachment induc-

tive hydrophobicity forms on TiO2particle surface It is

relatively stable because attachment of modifier has certainchemical propertiesThe actionmodel of TiO

2modified with

sodium stearate and sodium oleate was established based onthe analysis on the functional groups of TiO

2particle surface

and the dissociation morphology of modifiers
