Structural resistance of chemically modified 1-D nanostructured titanates in inorganic acid environment

Finally, the possibility to transform, through acid aging, 1-D NSLT obtained from Brazilian natural rutile sand into TiO2-polymorphs was demonstrated for the first time to the best of authors' knowledge, opening path for producing TiO2-nanoproducts with different morphologies through a simple process and from a low cost precursor.
