Popis: Using titania sols, composite materials with improved photocatalytic, sorption, and electrorheological properties were obtained. It was found that an increase in the photocatalytic activity of the composite “SiO2 core–TiO2 shell” is achieved by means of introducing ammonium hydroxide (n(NH4OH)/n(TiO2) = 0.06–0.37) and a treatment temperature of 750–800 °C. A correlation was established between amounts of the introduced modifiers (Al, P) and the structuring component (NH4)2CO3 and the properties of the filler for electrorheological dispersions (ERD): specific surface area, bulk density. The distribution of modifier components between the volume of particles of the main component (TiO2) and their surface was demonstrated to be 1:1. It was established that immobilization of crown ethers (CE) on the surface of SiO2–TiO2 composite particles leads to a significant increase in the adsorption capacity of the resulting organic-mineral composite for a number of metal cations in acidic aqueous solutions.
