Abstract

A titania-based self-standing film with high transparency and flexibility was successfully prepared via a sol-gel process, in which a titanium tetraisopropoxide/isostearate complex (precursor), n-hexylammonium isostearate (catalyst), and o-xylene (solvent) were used. The sol obtained by the sol-gel reaction was floated on a water surface to form an unsupported film. This film was composed of a titania/isostearate nanocomposite with ordered layer structure. The basal spacings of the nanocomposites depended on the chain length of the carboxylate modifier.
