Abstract—The glass surface has been modified by titanium dioxide films synthesized using the sol–gel
method. The sol–gel synthesis has been optimized by the experimental design with the use of the Latin square
method. The film composition has been evaluated using X-ray powder diffraction analysis and optical measure-
ments. The photoinduced hydrophilicity of the modified glass has been investigated.

Keywords: titanium alkoxide, sol–gel technology, thin films, surface modification
