Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The properties of materials can be altered by introducing strain. For instance, the critical temperature of superconductors has been raised as has the Curie temperature of ferroelectric materials. As TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> is the most studied single crystal metal oxide, it is highly desirable to understand how strain might be used to tune its properties. Theoretical calculations indicate that the band gap of anatase TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> may be lowered, which would remove one of the roadblocks to its wider use as a photocatalyst. Surface defects on rutile TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> are responsible for a large part of its reactivity and the nature of these may also be affected by strain according to calculations. In this review, the introduction of strain and its effect on reactivity will be examined. The strain in the most part arises from lattice mismatch in the growth of TiO<jats:sub>x</jats:sub> films on various substrates although cases where TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> is the substrate are also included as is the implantation of Ar clusters in the subsurface of TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>.</jats:p>
