Abstract
The germination of porous ceramics has enticing augment attentiveness owing to their fabulous chemical and physical features. The tailoring of nanoporous ceramics size and morphology is squeaky manipulating their peculiarities and conceivable applications. In this study, a novel approach is presented to synthesize nanoporous titanium dioxide based triton X-305 and dextran via the sonochemical technique. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller adsorption isotherm techniques were used to characterize the nanoporous titania structures. The influence of sintering temperature on the structure of nanoporous titania was examined. It was found that the anatase phase of prepared nanoporous titania is preserved up to 700 degrees C. The influence of sintering temperature on the pore size distribution showed that the as-synthesized nanoporous titania reach to full density (99.7%) at sintering temperature 700 degrees C.
