Synthesis and photocatalytic activity of natural rubber/titanates nanocomposite

Tan K S., . and Riley J., . Synthesis and photocatalytic activity of natural rubber/titanates nanocomposite. pp. 139-150. ISSN 1511-1768

One dimensional (1-D) sodium titanate nanoparticles have been synthesised using a hydrothermal reaction. The photocatalytic properties of natural rubber (NR) based nanocomposite containing sodium titanate are presented. Rhodamine B (RhB) was used as the target organic material for photocatalysis studies. The degradation of RhB molecules was monitored using a fluoremeter based on the fluorescent emission counts of RhB sample solution subjected to ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. The nanocomposite was photocatalytically active and the RhB degradation efficiency largely depends on the crystal phase of titanates and the distribution of photocatalysts on the NR surface.

Abstract

One dimensional (1-D) sodium titanate nanoparticles have been synthesised using a hydrothermal reaction. The photocatalytic properties of natural rubber (NR) based nanocomposite containing sodium titanate are presented. Rhodamine B (RhB) was used as the target organic material for photocatalysis studies. The degradation of RhB molecules was monitored using a fluoremeter based on the fluorescent emission counts of RhB sample solution subjected to ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. The nanocomposite was photocatalytically active and the RhB degradation efficiency largely depends on the crystal phase of titanates and the distribution of photocatalysts on the NR surface.
