Abstract

Abstract: Preparation of TiO₂ nano-particles with controllable surface charges for electrophoretic display was investigated in ethylene tetrachloride, Isopar H and dodecylbenzene, in which TiO₂ nano-particles were modified by anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and polymers, respectively. The research results showed that TiO₂ nano-particles modified by cationic surfactants had negative charges in ethylene tetrachloride, while it had positive charges in Isopar H and dodecylbenzene, the nano-particles modified by anionic surfactants had the opposite character. The influence of concentration of charge control agents on TiO₂nano-particles surface charges was discussed, in which TiO₂ nano-particles were modified by sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and styrene/divinylbenzene, respectively. It was shown that ξ potential of TiO₂ nano-particles had a minimum value near the critical micelle concentrations of the charge control agents, and a regular change with the increasing concentration, while the property of ξ potential was still maintained. So, preparation of controllable surface charges of TiO₂ nano-particles can be achieved.v
