Self-cleaning composite material, in particular a composite material for production of molded items for kitchen and bathroom interior decoration
No full textA self-cleaning composite material comprising the following composition is disclosed: 65-80% in weight of quartzbased
mineral extenders; 2-15% in weight of fme particles of silicate family, such as wollastonite, calcium silicate, cristobalite, silica
(SiOz), with size lower than 0.1 mm; 5-20% of glass microspheres, with grain size lower than 212 micron; 10-25% of methacrylic syrup composed of one monomer and one polymer; photocatalytic titanium oxide (TiOz) dispersed in methacrylic syrup in weight percentage of 0.05-5% with respect to the weight of the methacrylic syrup; coupling agent to obtain anchoring of photocatalytic Ti02 to methacrylic syrup; and cross-linking monomers to obtain reticulation of methacrylic syrup
PMMA, Doped-TiO2 Composites: Visible is Feasible
No full textOver the last years, titanium dioxide (TiO2) raised a lot of interest in the industrial and scientifi communities due to its unique photoinduced properties like high oxidation power and superhydrophobicity. Moreover, due to its abundance and chemicophysical stability, titania is probably the most promising photocatalytic material for the industrial production of self cleaning and antimicrobial materials
