Improvement in the dispersion of TiO2 particles inside Chitosan-Methyl cellulose films by the use of silane coupling agent
JOURNAL OF THE MEXICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY(2019)
摘要
This work is focused on obtaining composite films based on biopolymer of chitosan and on TiO2 superficially modified through a silanization method, using (3-aminopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (APTMS). This method helped solve specific problems of titanium dioxide, such as the formation of agglomerates, since modified films have a better dispersion. The inclusion of particles in the biopolymer films helped to improve color properties, obtaining luminescence results up to 20% higher than the unmodified particles, which indicates a better dispersion of particles. In addition, there were improvements in the electrostatic repulsion, studied as Z potential, with values of 10 mV for TiO(2 )and 27 mV for S-TiO2. Finally, better results were obtained in the mechanical properties of the silanized particles, with an improvement of around 28% in low percentages, rising the percentage by increasing S-TiO2.
