[$TiO_2$] sol and $SiO_2$ sol were prepared using sol-gel method. As $H_{2}O$/Alkoxide ratios increased, sol had cluster structure and as $H_{2}O$/Alkoxide ratios decreased, sol had linear structure. Gelation time of $TiO_2$ sol was faster than that of $SiO_2$ sol according to the time. In comparison with initial viscosity between $TiO_2$ sol and $SiO_2$ sol, $TiO_2$ sol was highest at $H_{2}O/Ti(OC_{3}H_{7})_{4}=5$, $SiO_2$ sol was almost constant according to $H_{2}O/Si(OC_{2}H_{5})_{4}$ ratios.

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 $TiO_2$.

In this study, $Hydroxyapatite+TiO_2(HAp+TiO_2)$ composite sol coatings on Cp-Ti substrates were deposited by using a sol-gel derived precursor. Prior to hydroxyapatite coating, the samples were micropolished and divided into three sets. The first set was coated with hydroxyapatite (HAp) directly on Cp-Ti. The second set was first coated with intermediate titania layer and then coated with HAp. The third set samples were coated with $HAp+TiO_2$ (50:50) composite sol. Each samples were predried at $200^{\circ}C$, and heat treated at $600^{\circ}C$. The formation of hydroxyapatite has been confirmed by XRD analyses and the substrate material was found to be oxidized with negligible amount of CaO in the coating. The NaOH treated samples showed the presence of rutile crystal. The SEM studies revealed surface morphologies of each samples. $HAp+TiO_2$ composite sol coating layer was found to be smooth. The bonding strength of each samples were calculated using pull out tests. The bonding strength of the $HAp+TiO_2$ composite sol coating on substrate was 29.35MPa.

$TiO_2-SnO_2$ thin films are fabricated using sol-gel method. In case the amount of water required hydrolysis smaller than that for stoichiometry, Ti sol forms clear sol which has normal chain structure. On the contrary, in case the amount of water required hydrolysis larger than that for stoichiometry, Ti sol forms suspended sol which has cluster structure. The thickness of thin films increase about $0.03{\sim}0.04{\mu}m$ every a dipping. The permittivity and dissipation factor of $TiO_2-SnO_2$ thin films decrease with increasing frequency. Thin films show semiconductive characteristics above $400^{\cric}C$.

$TiO_2-V_2O_5$ sol was fabricated using sol-gel method and $TiO_2-V_2O_5$ thin films were fabricated using dip-coating method. $V_2O_5$ sol was added 0.01mo1e, 0.03mo1e, 0.05mo1e into $TiO_2$ sol. Viscosity of sol increased fast from about 1,000 minutes and sol began gelation from about 10,000 minutes. As a results of crystalline properties, $V_2O_5$ peaks were not found despite of $V_2O_5$ addition. Endothermic reaction occurred due to evaporation of solvent and dissociation of OH at $80^{\circ}C$. Exothermic reaction occurred due to combustion and oxidation of solvent at $230^{\circ}C$, occurred to combustion and oxidation of alkyl group at $350^{\circ}C$. Thickness of thin films increased $0.1{\sim}0.25{\mu}m$ every a dipping.

This paper reports the effect of Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles on a TiO₂ sol-gel Schottky diode. TiO₂ nanoparticles were blended with TiO₂ sol-gel to fabricate the Schottky diode. TiO₂ nanoparticles showed strong anatase and rutile X-ray diffraction peaks. However, the mixture of TiO₂ sol-gel and TiO₂ nanoparticles exhibited no anatase and rutile peaks. The forward current of the Schottky diode drastically increased as the concentration of TiO₂ nanoparticles increased up to 10 wt. % and decreased after that. The possible conduction mechanism is more likely space charge limited conduction.

$ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites were synthesized via a modified sol-gel technique by incorporating 30 and 70 wt% $TiO_2$ nanopowder into a ZnO sol-gel matrix. Zinc acetate dihydrate was used as the ZnO precursor and de-ionized water as the solvent, while titanium oxysulfate was employed for the synthesis of $TiO_2$ nanopowder. The synthesized $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites were characterized by x-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites showed both the ZnO (wurtzite) and $TiO_2$ (anatase) phases. The average ZnO crystallite size of the $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites was found to be about 26.3 nm. The TEM results confirmed that spherical $TiO_2$ particles were embedded in the ZnO matrix. $TiO_2$ particles attached onto the rod-like ZnO particles were also observed. The $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites exhibited optical absorption properties superior to those of pure ZnO and $TiO_2$.

The purpose of this study was to search for an appropriate method of coating $TiO_2$ on orthodontic appliances. $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited on orthodontic wires and brackets using sol-gel, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and PE-CVD (Plasma Enhanced-CVD) methods. The roughness of $TiO_2$-coated surfaces was investigated via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and adhesive strength of $TiO_2$ thin films was measured by adhesive tape pull test. Methylene blue degradation test was carried out to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ and the corrosion resistance of $TiO_2$ thin films against fluoride solution was also analyzed by observing the surfaces of $TiO_2$-coated wires and brackets via SEM after immersion in sodium fluoride solution. Through the comparison of properties and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ thin films according to the coating methods, the following results were obtained. Smoother surfaces of $TiO_2$ thin films were generated by CVD or PE-CVD methods than through the sol-gel method or the control. Adhesive strength of the $TiO_2$ thin films was highest in PE-CVD and gradually became lower in the order of CVD, then the sol-gel method. Photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ thin films on methylene blue was the highest in PE-CVD and gradually became lower in the order of CVD, then the sol-gel method. Corrosion resistance of $TiO_2$ thin films against fluoride solution was stronger in CVD and PE-CVD methods than in the sol-gel method. The results of this study suggest that the CVD or PE-CVD methods is more appropriate than the sol-gel method for $TiO_2$ coating on orthodontic wires and brackets.

In general, a photoelectrode in DSSC(dye sensitized solar cell) are fabricated by using the $TiO_2$ (Titanium dioxide) to realize high efficiency and the efficiency of DSSC is affected by the size, the shape and the property of $TiO_2$. We synthesized the crystalline $TiO_2$ by sol-gel method. In spite of many merits, only weakness for the sol-gel method is taking many process times. To solve this problem, we reduced the fabricating processes. The reduced process is the making process that is $TiO_2$ sol to $TiO_2$ powder with including of two heat treatment and two mixing. We could simplify the process by preparing $TiO_2$ sol to $TiO_2$ paste directly. As a result, DSSC fabrication process is simplified and we have obtained the efficiency best result 3.88% with $V_{OC}$=0.71 V, $J_{SC}=8.70\;mA/cm^{-2}$, and FF=62.37%, respectively.

TiO$_2$ sol was prepared by sol-gel method, and this sol was coated in ceramic and glass bead by dip-coating method. The coated catalyst was applied to degrade benzene in the gas phase by exposing to UV -lamp (365 nm) in a batch reactor. The removal efficiency of the benzene was compared by changing various conditions such as the kind of chemical additives, the coating beads (ceramic and glass), solution pH, the initial concentration of TiO$_2$ sol, UV intensity, and benzene concentration. The physical structure of TiO$_2$ sol used in this study was found to be pu-rely anatase type from XRD analysis. The results showed that ceramic bead was effective as the coating agent rath-er than glass bead. The significant change in the benzene removal efficiency of benzene did not occur with chang-ing coating frequency and the initial concentration of TiO$_2$ sol. The removal efficiency of benzene increased with increasing UV intensity, and with acidic treatment of TiO$_2$-coated ceramic bead.
