Abstract

This study aims to synthesize and characterize titanium dioxide nanomaterials via horizontal vapor phase growth (HVPG) technique toward making a sensor for detecting engine oil degradation. The growth temperature was varied at 1000 oC, 1100 oC, and 1200 oC with the fixed baking time of 6 hrs and ramp rate of 10oC/min. The said nanomaterials grown on glass substrate were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) to analyze the surface structure morphology and determine the elemental composition, respectively. Results showed that various sizes of titanium dioxide particles were found on the substrate surface at the proposed growth mechanisms.
