Abstract
The glass surface has been modified by titanium dioxide films synthesized using the sol-gel method. The sol-gel synthesis has been optimized by the experimental design with the use of the Latin square method. The film composition has been evaluated using X-ray powder diffraction analysis and optical measurements. The photoinduced hydrophilicity of the modified glass has been investigated.
