Abstract

Abstract Interaction of titanium chloride with a cellulose surface and the decurrent modifications introduced on its morphology were studied by scanning, electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The chemical analysis of the surface was carried by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and changes in the crystallinity upon chemical treatment was determinded by the X‐ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Interaction of titanium with cellulose occurs only at the surface and a decrease of its crystallinity was observed with the amount of metal oxide incorporated into the solid matrix. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
