Preparation of Titania-Coated Particles for Printer Toner Additive

Abstract

Titania-coated particles have various applications such as photocatalyst, pigment, and printer toner. There have been several routes for preparation of titania-coated particles. However, typical methods are complicated procedure due to violent reactivity of titanium monomer(Ti(OR)4, TiCl4,…) with water. Here, we report a facile method for preparation of titania-coated particles by using titania peptization. Although this synthetic pathway was a simple method where all reactants were put into a same reaction vessel at initial state, titania-coated particles could be obtained. Titania-coated particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM.
