Power-law scattering approximation has been employed to reveal the fractal structures of solid-state titanium-silicaaerogel samples. All small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements were performed using 36 meters SANSBATAN spectrometer (SMARTer) at the neutron scattering laboratory (NSL) in Serpong, Indonesia. The mass fractaldimension of titanium-silica aerogels at low scattering vector q range increases from -1.4 to -1.92 with the decrease ofacid concentrations during sol-gel process. These results are attributed to the titanium-silica aerogels that are growing tomore polymeric and branched structures. At high scattering vector q range the Porod slope of -3.9 significantly down to-2.24 as the roughness of particle surfaces becomes higher. The cross over between these two regimes decreases from0.4 to 0.16 nm,l with the increase of acid concentrations indicating also that the titanium-silica aerogels are growing.Keywords: SANS, aerogels, fractals, power-law scatteringPACS: 25.40.
