Abstract
The crosslinked network of TiO(2)-organic polymer composites has gained considerable attention over the past few years. The low band gap of TiO(2) particles and the stimuli-responsive behavior of organic polymers make these composites suitable for a wide range of applications in biomedicine, environmental fields, and catalysis. Diverse morphologies and structures of TiO(2)-polymer composites (TPCs) are documented in the available literature, where the specific architecture of these composites intensely influences their efficiency in various applications. Consequently, a particular shaped TPC is carefully designed to suit specific purposes. This comprehensive review describes the classifications, synthetic approaches, characterizations, and applications of TiO(2) nanoparticles decorated in crosslinked organic polymers. It delves into the biomedical, catalytic, adsorption, and environmental applications of these TiO(2)-polymer composites. The review takes a tutorial approach, systematically exploring and clarifying the applications of TiO(2)-polymer composites, offering a comprehensive understanding of their different capabilities and uses.
