Abstract

Functionalization of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles with synthetic polymers is an important area of research due to the wide range of potential applications in fields such as catalysis, sensors, drug delivery, and photovoltaics. The process involves modifying the surface of TiO₂ nanoparticles with synthetic polymers to improve their stability, dispersibility, and interaction with other materials. This abstract elucidates the rationale behind this dynamic field, encompassing the enhancement of TiO₂ nanoparticle stability, surface modification for tailored reactivity, controlled release mechanisms, and improved photocatalytic properties. With applications spanning from catalysis to drug delivery and photovoltaics, the functionalization of TiO₂ nanoparticles offers transformative potential. Characterization techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy, FTIR Spectroscopy analysis are essential for understanding the resulting nanoparticle-polymer hybrid materials structural and physicochemical properties. This process involves modifying the surface characteristics of TiO₂ nanoparticles through the integration of synthetic polymers, thereby imparting diverse functionalities and enhancing their utility in a myriad of applications.
