General description: Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a chlorinated acetic acid that has been reported to be a mouse liver carcinogen. The varying degrees of swelling of polyester in different concentrations of DCA solution has been analyzed by phase-contrast microscopy. The efficiency of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to catalyze the photodegradation of DCA has been investigated.
