Ag deposited N-$TiO_2$ composite nanoparticles were prepared via $NH_3$ plasma treatment. X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared $TiO_2$ samples. The plasma treatment did not change the phase composition and particle sizes of $TiO_2$ samples, but extended its absorption edges to the visible light region. The photocatalytic activities were tested in the degradation of an aqueous solution of a reactive dyestuff, methylene blue, under visible light. The photocatalytic activities of Ag deposited N-$TiO_2$ composite nanoparticles were much higher than Ag-$TiO_2$, N-$TiO_2$, and P25. A possible mechanism for the photocatalysis was proposed.

$TiO_2$films of rutile and anatase phase have been prepared on silica glass substrates by the sol-gel method using $Ti(i-OC_3H_7)_4$. The effect of additives on the polymorph of $TiO_2$film has been examined in view of degree of crystallization. Third-order nonlinear optical properties of the both film have been investigated by the third harmonic generation method. The measured 3rd order nonlinear optical susceptibility of rutile and anatase thin films were about $1.4{\times}10^{-12}$ and $9.7{\times}10^{-13}$ esu, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the bioactivity of precalcified nanotubular $TiO_2$ layer on Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy. Materials and methods: Anodic oxidation was carried out at a potential of 20 V and current density of 20 mA/$cm^2$ for 1 hour. The glycerol solution containing 1 wt% $NH_4F$ and 20 wt% deionized water was used as an electrolyte. Precalcification treatment was obtained by soaking in $Na_2HPO_4$ solution at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes followed by soaking in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ solution at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes, followed by heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. To evaluate the activity of precalcified nanotubular $TiO_2$ layer, specimens were immersed in a simulated body fluid with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Results: 1. Nanotubular $TiO_2$ layer showed the highly ordered dense structure by interposing small diameter nanotubes between large ones, the shape of nanotubes was enlarged as going down. 2. The mean length of nanotubes was $517.0{\pm}23.2\;nm$ innm glycerol solution containing 1 wt% $NH_4F$ and 20 wt% $H_2O$ at 20 V for 1 hour. 3. The bioactivity of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy was improved with formation of nanotubular $TiO_2$ layer and precalcification treatment in $80^{\circ}C$ 0.5 M $Na_2HPO_4$ and saturated $100^{\circ}C$ $Ca(OH)_2$ solution. Conclusion: Bioactivity of precalcified nanotubular $TiO_2$ layer on Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy was improved.

Transparent TiO$_{2}$ sols were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis to heat Ti precursor solutions, from Ti hydroxides obtained with neutralizing aqueous TiOCl$_{2}$ solutions having various concentrations of NaCI by aqueous NaOH solution, in the autoclave at 120$^{\circ}C$ The photocatalytic abilities of glass beads coated with the sol for gaseous benzene were evaluated. As a result, it was found that due to the increase of brookite phase in TiO$_{2}$ by controlling the concentration of Na ion the optical absorption of TiO$_{2}$ increases toward long wavelength but that in the area of short wavelength becomes relatively low and consequently the photocatalytic performance of TiO$_{2}$ thin film for benzene gas rather decreases, compared to that of composite film of anatase and brookite phases. These results suggest that in order for coated TiO$_{2}$ thin film to have high dissociation performance for benzene gas it is effective to form anatase and brookite phases compositely in TiO$_{2}$.

Ferroelectric Sr$_2$(Nb, Ta)$_2$O$_{7}$(SNTO), La$_2$Ti$_2$O$_{7}$(LTO) thin films were prepared by sol-gel processes. SNTO, LTO thin films were spin-coated on Pt/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si(100). Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100). PT/ZrO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates. After multiple coating, dried thin films were heat-treated for decomposition of residual organics and crystallization. Dielectric and other relevant electrical properties were measured and the results showed a little possibility in ferroelectric gate random access memory devices.ces.

The microwave dielectric properties of $0.7Mg_4Ta_2O_9-0.3TiO_2$ ceramics were investigated. All samples were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with sintering temperature by X-ray Diffractor meter. According to. the X-ray diffraction patterns of the $0.7Mg_4Ta_2O_9-0.3TiO_2$ ceramics, major phase of the hexagonal $Mg_4Ta_2O_9$ were appeared. In the case of $0.7Mg_4Ta_2O_9-0.3TiO_2$ ceramics sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$, dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 11.72, 126,419GHz, $-31.82ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

ZnO- TiO$_2$, and Sn0$_2$ - Ti0$_2$ ceramic composites doped with TiO$_2$ were prepared and their electrical and 1000ppm CO gas sensing properties were investigated. The phases of samples were analyzed by XRD, and the microsturctures of the fractured surface of samples were observed by SEM. A carbon monoxide gas sensitivity was de¬fined as the ratio of the resistance in dry air atmosphere(R$drt air$) to the resistance in 1000ppm CO gas atmosphere(R$_co$) The CO gas sensitivity of Smol% Ti0$_2$-added ZnO decreased about 1.7 times compared to that of pure ZnO. On the other hand, the maximum CO gas sensitivity of Ti0$_2$-added SnO$_2$ increased about 2.5 times compared to that of pure SnO$_2$. Therefore, the CO gas sensitivies of SnO$_2$-TiO$_2$ composite were better than those of ZnO- Ti0$_2$ and the temper¬ature range showing the maximum sensitivity for Sn0$_2$-TiO$_2$ composite was lower than that for ZnO- Ti0$_2$.

The objective of this study is to delineate removal efficiency of the Linear alkylbenzene sulfonates(LAS) in solution by $TiO_2$ photocatalytic oxidation as a function of the following different experimental conditions : initial concentration of LAS, $TiO_2$ concentration, UV wavelength and pH of the solution. It was increased with decreasing initial concentration of LAS and with decreasing pH of the solution. Removal efficiency increased with increasing $TiO_2$ concentration but was almost the same at $TiO_2$ concentration of 2 g/L and 3 g/L, i.e., for initial LAS concentration of 50 mg/L. It was removal efficiency was 85% at 150 min in the case of $TiO_2$ concentration of 0.5 g/L but 100% after 150 min in the case of $TiO_2$ concentration of 1 g/L, 100% after 110 min in the case of $TiO_2$ concentration of 2 g/L and 3 g/L. UV wavelength affection on the removal efficiency of LAS decreased in the order of 254, 312 and 365 nm as increasing wavelength. But the removal efficiency of LAS was nearly the same at UV wavelength of 254 nm and 312 nm.

$TiO_2$ was dispersed in zeolite and glass filter by soaking them in isopropanol solution of titanium tetraisopropoxide and drying in the air, followed by calcination at $500^{\circ}C$. The analysis of chlorothalnoil was carried out by gas chromatograph with an electron capture detector. Chlorothalnoil was degraded photocatalytically over the matrix-supported $TiO_2$ efficiently and could be completely photodegraded after 3hrs. Production were 5.0ppm of $Cl^-$ for $TiO_2$ supported zeolite, 7.5ppm of $Cl^-$ for $TiO_2$ supported glass filter and 2.0ppm of $Cl^-$ for $TiO_2$ powder. But, $CN^-$ was lower than the detection limit irrespective of matrices.
