Physical Properties of γ Irradiated TiO2 Nanoparticles

This paper highlights a study on the effects of medium dose gamma (γ) irradiation towards physical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. Doses applied for gamma irradiation are 60, 100 and 150 kGy. Structural and morphological results show that gamma radiation did not change the crystallinity and shapes of TiO2 nanostructures. Ratio percentages of anatase:rutile for irradiated samples is around 89:11. Agglomerated samples shown in morphology images is support with the existence of binodial shapes peak from particles size distribution analysis.
