Notable photocatalytic activity of TiO2-polyethylene nanocomposites for visible light degradation of organic pollutants

This paper reports on the photocatalytic activity showed by nanocomposites of TiO2 with low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) (10, 20 wt%) for the degradation of methyl orange in aqueous medium under visible light irradiation. TiO2 was synthetized by sol-gel process, a...
