title: Multicomponent polymer coating to block photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles.
abstract: Chemical grafting of anti-oxidant molecules with an additional hydrophobic polymer coating directly onto TiO(2) particle surfaces, using sonochemistry, is found to eliminate photocatalytic degradation enabling highly effective screening against UV radiation.
