One-Step Fabrication Process of Silica-Titania Superhydrophobic UV-Blocking Thin Coatings onto Polymeric Films.

Biomimetics (Basel)

Developing a durable multifunctional superhydrophobic coating on polymeric films that can be industrially scalable is a challenge in the field of surface engineering. This article presents a novel method for a scalable technology using a simple single-step fabrication of a superhydrophobic coating on polymeric films that exhibits excellent water-repelling and UV-blocking properties, along with impressive wear resistance and chemical robustness. A mixture of titanium precursors, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), hydrophobic silanes and silica nano/micro-particles is polymerized directly on a corona-treated polymeric film which reacts with the surface via siloxane chemistry.

UV Irradiation as a Versatile Low-Temperature Strategy for Fabricating Templated Mesoporous Titania Films.

Small

December 2024

Chair for Functional Materials, Department of Physics, TUM School of Natural Sciences, Technical University of Munich, James-Franck-Str. 1, 85748, Garching, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • Mesoporous titania thin films have potential applications in various fields such as sensors, batteries, and solar cells, but traditional methods of creating these films often require high temperatures that can damage the structures.
  • A new approach using UV irradiation is presented as a low-temperature, energy-efficient alternative that achieves comparable crystallinity and size to conventional methods, without the drawbacks of high-temperature calcination.
  • This UV method allows for the creation of diverse film morphologies and maintains consistent optical properties, demonstrating its adaptability with different titanium precursors for thin film fabrication.

Improving Visible Light Photocatalysis Using Optical Defects in CoO-TiO Photonic Crystals.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

Section of Condensed Matter Physics, Department of Physics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, University Campus, 15784 Athens, Greece.

The rational design of photonic crystal photocatalysts has attracted significant interest in order to improve their light harvesting and photocatalytic performances. In this work, an advanced approach to enhance slow light propagation and visible light photocatalysis is demonstrated for the first time by integrating a planar defect into CoO-TiO inverse opals. Trilayer photonic crystal films were fabricated through the successive deposition of an inverse opal TiO underlayer, a thin titania interlayer, and a photonic top layer, whose visible light activation was implemented through surface modification with CoO nanoscale complexes.

Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapors Using Acidified Titanium(IV)-Based Test Strips.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, 316 Physical Science, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078, USA.

One method for the colorimetric detection of hydrogen peroxide vapor is based on a titanium-hydrogen peroxide complex. A color changing material based on a titania hydroxypropyl cellulose thin film was initially developed. However, as this material dries, the sensitivity of the material is significantly reduced.

The simple oxides like titania, zirconia, and ZnO are famous with their antibacterial (or even antimicrobial) properties as well as their biocompatibility. They are broadly used for air and water filtering, in food packaging, in medicine (for implants, prostheses, and scaffolds), etc. However, these application fields can be broadened by switching to the composite multicomponent compounds (for example, titanates) containing in their unit cell, together with oxygen, several different metallic ions.
