SUMMARY
Description
The commercial development of nanocrystalline photocatalytic materials is
potentially huge area of nanomaterials development. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)
nanoparticles, like all nanomaterials, exhibit unique physical and chemical
properties of these materials that are currently finding their way into a raft
of applications.
Industrial utilisation of the photocatalytic effect of nanoscale TiO2 has
already found its way into various applications, especially for self-cleaning
and anti-fogging purposes like self-cleaning tiles, self-cleaning windows by
CVD processes or self-cleaning textiles, anti-fogging car mirrors, and the
anti-microbial effect also has been demonstrated.
The commercial potential for such coatings are massive, including medical
applications, architectural (particularly cultural heritage purposes, facade
paints, indoor, wall paper, tiles, consumer goods etc.), automotive and food
industries (cleaner technologies, non-fogging glass and mirrors, product
safety), textile and glass industry, and environmental protection (water and
air purification and disinfection).
