Resumo
This paper explores the features of both nanoporous and compact TiO2 films formed by titanium anodisation in two experimental conditions, given that they have completely different morphologies and properties than those found by our previous studies. After anodisation, samples have been subjected for 20 days to immersion tests in different media (H2O, H3PO4, and KOH). Surface morphology, phase composition and wettability of anodised films were investigated using FESEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, contact angle measurements and XPS, and the hydrophilicity of modified surfaces was investigated by immersion tests. Nanoporous films exhibited hydrophobic surfaces, but contact angle values gradually decreased after immersing films in H2O, H3PO4 and KOH media, respectively. However, compact films produced superhydrophilic surfaces, both before and after immersion tests, with the exception of immersing the film in a H3PO4 medium due to film removal by acid attack. As for compact films, an unusual morphology revealed by the presence of cone-shaped particles might be responsible for the adsorption of –OH groups arranged so as to favour anatase phase formation.
