Multicomponent polymer coating to block photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles

Wilson A. Lee, Nadine Pernodet, Bingquan Li, Chien H. Lin, Eli Hatchwell and Miriam H. Rafailovich

Chemical grafting of anti-oxidant molecules with an additional hydrophobic polymer coating directly onto TiO2 particle surfaces, using sonochemistry, is found to eliminate photocatalytic degradation enabling highly effective screening against UV radiation.
