ABSTRACTIn this work, the anodization of grade 2 titanium was performed using a HCl-based electrolyte in order to obtain Titania nanostructures. Different glycerol concentrations were added to the HCl electrolyte to study the effect it has on the shape and density of the nanostructures, additionally, anodization time and voltage was also varied. The anodized samples were observed by SEM microscopy and studied by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Raman spectroscopy and XRD showed the formation of the anatase phase of the TiO2. By SEM it was possible to observe several changes in the shape of the structures, by adding glycerol ball-like structures were visible, anodization time did not change the shape of the nanostructures. However, the voltage variation showed a clear control on the shape of the structures, forming nanotubes at higher voltages. It was concluded that a better control of the shape and density of the nanostructures is achieved by adding glycerol, however, in order to overcome the resistance that the electrolyte brings, higher voltages are required.

Dy2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites with different weight percentage (0, 2, 4, 8 & 10)Dy were synthesized bysol-gel method and named as 0DT, 2DT, 4DT, 6DT, 8DT and 10DT. The structural properties of these nanocomposites are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. XRD results show that Dy2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites have anatase phase with tetragonal structure. The average crystallite size of the Dy2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites lies between 10 to 18 nm.Coupling of Dy with TiO2 shifts the Raman band to higher wavenumber side indicating the creation of oxygen vacancies in the TiO2 lattice.

In this paper, we have successfully synthesized TiO2 microsperes by solvothermal method using titanium (IV) isopropoxide as titanium source and ethanol as a solvent. The solution was thermally treated at relatively low temperature of 150 °C for 3 hours. The as-prepared and annealed of TiO2 microsphere were characterized using FESEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The diameter of the microspheres was 1-6 µm. The X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy studies show that the microspheres has anatase phase.

In the present work, we study the phase composition of ZrO2-TiO2 system by means of XRD and Raman spectroscopy, using also TG-ATD, and N2 adsorption isotherms as complementary characterization techniques. TiO2-ZrO2 samples of selected compositions (0, 10, 90, 50 and 100% in weight of TiO2) were prepared by sol–gel method and annealed at three different temperatures (400, 600 and 800 °C). Structural characterization reveals that only the pure oxides are crystalline at 400 °C: TiO2 as anatasa with a minor brookite component, and ZrO2 as a mixture of tetragonal (majority) and monoclinic phases. Following the 600 °C calcination, the TiO2-ZrO2 50–50% sample forms the ZrTiO4 mixed oxide, although this materials remains partly amorphous. In contrast, samples with higher and lower TiO2 content form solid solutions with, respectively, anatasa and tetragonal ZrO2 structures. Zirconium incorporation into the TiO2 lattice leads to the expansion of the unit cell parameters, and it stabilizes the anatase phase, hindering its transformation into rutile. Similarly, dissolving titanium atoms into the ZrO2 structure delays the transformation from the tetragonal to the monoclinic polymorph.

To obtain smooth coatings of TiO2 for building a new design of Ti-6Al-4V heart valve, the anodic oxidation technique in pre-spark conditions was evaluated. TiO2 coating is necessary for its recognize biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. A required feature on surfaces in contact with blood is a low level of roughness (Ra ≤ 50 nm) that not favor the formation of blood clots. The present paper compares the coatings obtained by anodic oxidation of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy using H2SO4 at different concentrations (0.1 M to 4 M) as electrolyte and applying different voltages (from 20 V to 70 V). Color and morphological analysis of coatings are performed using optical and scanning microscopy. The crystalline phases were analyzed by glancing X-ray diffraction. By varying the applied voltage different interference colors coatings were obtained. The differences in morphologies of the coatings, due to the change in concentration, are more evident at high voltages limiting the oxidation conditions for the desired application. Anatase phase was detected from 70 V for 1 M H2SO4. An increase in the concentration of H2SO4 decreases the voltage at which the transformation of amorphous to crystalline coatings occurs, i.e. with 4 M H2SO4 the anatase phase appears at 60 V.

A series of ceramics samples belonging to theCeO2-Bi2O3phase system have been prepared via a coprecipitation route. The crystallized phases were obtained by heating the solid precursors at600∘Cfor 6 hours, then quenching the samples. X-ray diffraction analyses show that forx<0.20a solid solutionCe1−xBixO2−x/2with fluorine structure is formed. For x ranging between 0.25 and 0.7, a tetragonalβ′phase coexisting with the FCC solid solution is observed. For x ranging between 0.8 and 0.9, a new tetragonalβphase appears. Theβ′phase is postulated to be a superstructure of theβphase. Finally, close tox=1, the classical monoclinicα Bi2O3structure is observed. Raman spectroscopy confirms the existence of the phase changes as x varies between 0 and 1.
