condensation reaction is faster than on SiO2, and as a consequence the grafting of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) on TiO2 is faster [16]. To some extent this is related to the known ability of Ti(OR)4 to catalyze silanol condensation in TiO2–SiO2 sol–gel systems. Since island formation of OTS molecules
