Abstract

This article offers a new approach to building up self-adjustable invertible polymer coatings at solid surfaces. The approach is based on a two-step process. In the first step, the surface of dispersed TiO has been functionalized with the aid of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) as a coupling agent. In the second step, the chains of amphiphilic oligoester have been covalently grafted to the titanium dioxide surface functionalized with isocyanate groups. It is shown that the titania modified in this way can form stable suspensions in both polar (water) and nonpolar (toluene) media. Multiple redispersion cycles show the ability of the modified titanium dioxide particles, after their removal from one type of dispersion and consequent drying, to be redispersed in dispersing media strongly differing by polarity from the previous. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
