The wettability of titania is an important factor in numerous industrial and natural processes. It is, as for most oxide surfaces, mainly determined by the density of hydroxyl groups (titanols). / The influence of external stimuli - heat and UV light - on the surface of titania was investigated with a number of surface-sensitive techniques: secondary ion mass spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, streaming potential and contact angle measurements. Measurements were done in parallel on silica. / Thesis (PhDApSc(MineralsandMaterials))--University of South Australia, 2005.
