Synthesis of stabilized $TiO_2$ sol by sillane treatment

Transparent nanosized $TiO_2$ sol has been made by sol-gel method, using Titanium(IV) isopropoxide precursor. To promote hydrolysis for titania is needed excess water, Oil bath and temperature about $80^{\circ}C$. $TiO_2$ sol is peptized ranging from pH 1 to 1.5 using hydrochloric acid for the stability of sol during a condensation reaction. The average particle size of $TiO_2$ sol was approximately 20nm. $TiO_2$-sillane sol was synthesized by surface treatment using MTMS to the $TiO_2$ sol. TEM analysis has been used to check the degree of dispersion and FT-IR analysis has been used to see if the sillane has been chemically bonded on the surface of $TiO_2$.
