Synthesis and effectiveness of Cu-infused TiO2-SiO2 based self-cleaning and antibacterial thin-films coating on ceramic tiles
The aim of this research is the study of self-cleaning and antibacterial activity of SiO 2 /TiO 2 thinfilm contains copper in it on ordinary ceramic tiles substrates. Four solutions using the sol-gel method with various volume ratio of Si/Ti precursors (i.e., 1/9, 2/8, 3/7, and 4/6) were prepared. T...

thinfilm contains copper in it on ordinary ceramic tiles substrates. Four solutions using the sol-gel method with various volume ratio of Si/Ti precursors (i.e., 1/9, 2/8, 3/7, and 4/6) were prepared. Then, they were deposited on the ceramic tiles via the dip-coating technique and heated through thermal treatment at 650° for an hour. The XRD results show anatase and rutile structures are the main phases in the composite films of Cu
