Nanoscale titanium dioxide powder were prepared in terms of sol-gel process with Ti(OC4H9) as raw material. TEM analysis show that the size of nanoparticle are between 50~ 100nm.The results of XRD test indicate that the crystal style of the product is rutile type. In order to apply nanoscale titanium dioxide to coating as pigment, the nanoscale particles were modified in terms of esterifying reaction,silane coupling agent and organic titanate coupling agent. The results of contact angle test show that the oleophilic of modified product with organic titanate coupling agent is stronger than that with silane coupling agent and esterifying reaction.

Abstract. 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 TiO2 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. Resumen. Este trabajo está enfocado en obtener películas compuestas basadas en el biopopolímero quitosan y en TiO2 modificado superficialmente mediante un método de silanización, utilizando (3-aminopropil) trimetoxisilano (APTMS). Este método ayudó a resolver problemas particulares del dióxido de titanio, como lo son la formación de aglomerados, ya que las películas modificadas tienen una mejor dispersión. La inclusión de partículas en las películas de biopolímeros ayudó a mejorar las propiedades de color, obteniendo resultados de luminiscencia hasta en un 20% mayor que las partículas no modificadas, lo cual es indicador de una mejor dispersión de partículas. También se tuvieron mejoras en la repulsión electrostática, estudiada como potencial Z, con valores desde 10 mV para TiO2 a 27 mV para S-TiO2. Finalmente, también se tuvieron mejores resultados en las propiedades mecánicas de las partículas silanizadas, con una mejora de alrededor del 28% a bajos porcentajes, incrementando valores al aumentar el porcentaje de S-TiO2.

Hydrophilic behaviour of carrageenan macroalgae biopolymer, due to hydroxyl groups, has limited its applications, especially for packaging. In this study, macroalgae were reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) isolated from kenaf bast fibres. The macroalgae CNF film was after that treated with silane for hydrophobicity enhancement. The wettability and functional properties of unmodified macroalgae CNF films were compared with silane-modified macroalgae CNF films. Characterisation of the unmodified and modified biopolymers films was investigated. The atomic force microscope (AFM), SEM morphology, tensile properties, water contact angle, and thermal behaviour of the biofilms showed that the incorporation of Kenaf bast CNF remarkably increased the strength, moisture resistance, and thermal stability of the macroalgae biopolymer films. Moreover, the films’ modification using a silane coupling agent further enhanced the strength and thermal stability of the films apart from improved water-resistance of the biopolymer films compared to unmodified films. The morphology and AFM showed good interfacial interaction of the components of the biopolymer films. The modified biopolymer films exhibited significantly improved hydrophobic properties compared to the unmodified films due to the enhanced dispersion resulting from the silane treatment. The improved biopolymer films can potentially be utilised as packaging materials.

Using density functional theory, we predicted the solution structure of the hydrolyzed 3–aminopropyltriethoxysilane (h–APS), which is a silane coupling agent commonly used in many industrial applications. We have located five stable minima on the potential energy surface of h–APS in which four of them are "neutral", and the remaining one is zwitterionic (dipolar) in nature. Our calculations suggested that the stability of the most stable form of h–APS in water (denoted as II_N) arose from strong intramolecular OH ⋯ N hydrogen bond. The least stable form is the zwitterionic form (I_ZW), which is estimated to be over 90 kJ mol -1 less stable than II_N. The factors governing the relative stabilities of different forms are discussed.
