Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the silicon precursor was partially hydrolysed at room temperature, followed by the dropwise addition of these two metal alkoxides to produce polytitanosiloxane (PTS) solution. Hexane filtration of the PTS solution followed by drying and calcination gave TiO2-SiO2 powder. The physico-chemical characteristics of the obtained powders were investigated using TG-DTA, FTIR, XRD, and FESEM. Both types of powder particles were in nano-sized with spherical shape. The powder derived from PTP showed particle size smaller than that derived from TPT. From TGA analysis, it can be observed that the PTP derived powder start to crystallise at lower temperature compared to the TPT derived powder. However, TPT derived powder showed a stability of anatase crystal structure even after high temperature calcination. 2011-09-07T20:14:08Z 2011-09-07T20:14:08Z 2009-12 Article The Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, vol. 70(4), 2009, pages 34-40 0126-513X http://www.myiem.org.my/content/iem_journal_2009-180.aspx http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/13690 en The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia
