Abstract
TiO2 photocatalysts have a strong oxidation ability for organic compounds under UV irradiation. The surfaces of polyimide and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were photocatalytically machined using a porous TiO 2 wire prepared by phase separation and selective leaching with elongation. After UV irradiation, these surfaces were decomposed along the length of the TiO2 wire. Such surface decomposition depended on the irradiation angle of UV light and irradiation time. The machining rate of PMMA was higher than that of the polyimide.
