Abstract
The modification of titanium dioxide surface with octyltriethoxysilane and oligomeric short-chain alkylfunctional silane Dynasylan 9896 was studied. The eff ect of silanization on the properties of white masterbatches was investigated. An increase in the bleachig power and hydrophobic properties of the TiO2 surface by silanization, a decrease in the amount of agglomerates and an improvement in the MFI of masterbatches based on modified TiO2 were shown.
