Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is by far the most important white pigment. The extraordinary scattering behavior of TiO2 together with the lack of absorption in the visible range and the stability in different application systems is the reason why TiO2 is the most commonly used pigment. Of the three TiO2 modifications, only rutile and anatase play a role for pigment uses, whereas brookite has no technical importance. Two main processes are used for the production of TiO2 pigments, the sulfate process and the chloride process. Many TiO2 pigments are equipped with an additional surface treatment (aftertreatment) to improve weather resistance and lightfastness of the pigment itself and of the pigmented organic matrix. A second aim of the surface treatment is the improvement of the dispersibility of the pigments in the application system.

Titanium dioxide is currently the most important white pigment material used in the world and its surface properties are very important for consumer industries such as paints, papermaking and plastics. If agglomerates are present, the down-stream product properties such as gloss, opacity, and storage stability will be greatly affected. The addition of organic surface treatment agents onto the surface of titanium dioxide particles can change its surface: reduce the inter-particle forces to reduce particle agglomerates; change the hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties of particle surface to enhance the compatibility with the solvent, water, or organic resin; can also improve the particle mobility and industrial processing. Therefore, it is very important to fully understand the interaction mechanism between pigment particles and functional organic surface treatment agents. This paper summarizes the related research results and progress.

Abstract Metal effect pigments are luster pigments consisting of platelet-like metallic particles, mostly of aluminum (so-called silver bronzes), copper, copper/zinc (so-called gold bronzes), and zinc flakes. After parallel orientation in their application medium, they show a metal-like luster by reflection of light at the surface of the flat metal particles in one direction. Thus, the pigment particles act similar to small mirrors and lead when orientated parallel in the application system to a reflecting metal luster (metallic effect). Metal effect pigments are used in all relevant application systems such as coatings, paints, plastics, artist paints, cosmetics, printing inks, leather, construction materials, paper, glass, and ceramics. Specific composition, particle size distribution and surface quality determine the coloristic and application technical properties of the individual pigments. Many pigments are coated with a specific surface treatment to improve the quality concerning the stability and the compatibility with the application system. Metal effect pigments are offered in form of powders, pastes, pellets, suspensions or color concentrates. They are manufactured starting from a metal granulate (grit), which is ground under formation of flakes.

Silver nanoparticles have attracted much interest from scientists to develop nanosilver-based disinfectant products due to their unique properties of high antimicrobial activity. This study focused on biosynthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of silver nanoparticles against vegetative and starved Shigella strains. The silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of silver nanoparticles were tested against the growth of vegetative and starved Shigella strains. After the addition of silver nitrate solution to the supernatant of Y. lipolytica, we noticed the appearance of a brown-black coloration that suggested the formation of silver nanoparticles. The presence of silver nanoparticles was manifested by a maximum absorption in the ultraviolet–visible range, precisely at the wavelength 420[Formula: see text]nm. The crystalline nature and the stability of silver nanoparticles were confirmed, respectively, by XRD and FTIR analysis. The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles showed significant toxicity on Shigella strains indicating that the starved cells were more sensitive to treatment with silver nanoparticles than vegetative cells. Surprisingly, the biofilm formation had not been inhibited by silver nanoparticles for both vegetative and starved cells. In conclusion, a new class of nanosilver containing disinfectant nanoproducts will be promising for advanced environmental treatments including air disinfection, water disinfection, surface disinfection and personal hygiene that will help to prevent the further outbreak of diseases.

New poly (δ-valerolactone)/titanium dioxide (PDVL/TiO2) nanocomposites with different TiO2 nanoparticle loadings were prepared by the solvent-casting method and characterized by Fourier transform infra-red, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetry analyses. The results obtained reveal good dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix and non-formation of new crystalline structures indicating the stability of the crystallinity of TiO2 in the composite. A significant increase in the degree of crystallinity was observed with increasing TiO2 content. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the PDVL/TiO2 system indicate that the crystallization process involves the simultaneous occurrence of two- and three-dimensional spherulitic growths. The thermal degradation analysis of this nanocomposite reveals a significant improvement in the thermal stability with increasing TiO2 loading.

In this paper, the contrasting properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in various compositions were considered. In the course of the work, methods for the synthesis of oxide materials SiO2-TiO2, SiO2-ZrO2, TiO2-ZrO2 and SiO2-TiO2-ZrO2 were developed; the microstructure of oxide materials SiO2-TiO2, SiO2-ZrO2, TiO2-ZrO2and SiO2-TiO2-ZrO2was studied; the stability of oxide materials SiO2-TiO2, SiO2-ZrO2, TiO2-ZrO2and SiO2-TiO2-ZrO2 was determined. The elemental composition of the oxide materials SiO2-TiO2, SiO2-ZrO2, TiO2-ZrO2and SiO2-TiO2-ZrO2 has also been studied using SEM and XRD methods. It was found that SiO2-TiO2-ZrO2 nanocomposites with content of titanium dioxide from 8 to 9.5 % and zirconium dioxide from 0.5 to 2 % are completely insoluble in a highly alkaline medium. Thus, this composition is the most optimal for use as a contrast agent in optical coherence tomography.

As long as businesses only have one enterprise application or back end application system there is no need to share data with any other system in the company. All data that has to be managed is contained within one back end application system and its database. However, as businesses grow, more back end application systems find their way into their information technology infrastructure managing different specialized business data, mainly introduced due to the growth. These back end application systems are not independent of each other; in general they contain similar or overlapping business data or are part of business processes. Keeping the data in the various application systems consistent with each other requires their integration so that data can be exchanged or synchronized. The technology that supports the integration of various application systems and their databases is called Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) technology. EAI technology is able to connect to back end application systems in order to retrieve and to insert data. Once connected, EAI technology supports the definition of how extracted data is propagated to back end application systems solving the general integration problem.
