Abstract

Amino-modified TiO2 particles were derived from precursor mixtures of tetraethylorthotitanate and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) that both were dissolved in ethanol/water solution. Size, morphology, crystalline structures, and formation mechanism of the particles were discussed in terms of the APTES amount and the pH value in the solution. The addition of APTES resulted in amorphous amino-modified TiO2 particles. The low crystallinity in the final particles was attributed to the polar amino groups.
