| abstract |
The present invention relates to a process for the production of titanium-containing oxide particles having an average primary particle size of 25 nm or less, which comprises the reaction of a hydrolysable halide-containing titanium compound with water in a reaction mixture comprising a polyol, and the particles obtainable thereby. The claimed method is suitable for an industrial upscale and allows the formation of concentrated stable and transparent dispersions in water without the aid of dispersing agents such as surfactants. |
