Ob. Pavlovaverevkina et al., STUDIES OF THE EQUILIBRIUM HYDROSOLS OF TITANIUM-DIOXIDE, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 58(6), 1996, pp. 755-759
Titanium dioxide hydrosols of identical chemical composition were synt
hesized from titanium tetrabutoxide by three procedures. The identity
of the colloidal properties of the prepared sols indicates their equil
ibrium nature. The possible structure of equilibrium sols was discusse
d. The sols were found to undergo reversible coagulation on addition o
f strong electrolytes. The ranges of principal parameters determining
the sol existence region were estimated.
