White Giant or White Dwarf?

Particle Size Distribution Measurements of TiO2

Is TiO2 a White Giant or a White Dwarf? more

What have white tattoo ink, milk, toothpaste and lines on tennis courts in common? In all cases TiO₂ (titanium dioxide) is used as a white pigment. It is the widest used white pigment due to its brightness and very high refractive index of 2.7. Approximately four million tons of this pigment are consumed annually worldwide. Depending on the application field, the size range of the TiO₂ particles differs: sometimes the particle diameter is in the range of nanometers, and sometimes in the range of micrometers. Sophisticated and advanced tools help in determining particle size distributions as accurately as possible.
