They are looking for self-cleaning coatings

Spain. The Institute of Ceramic Technology of Spain, ITC announced that it is advancing a project aimed at developing photocatalytic coatings that applied on different types of substrates, can give rise to surfaces with self-cleaning capacity. The research, in this case, focuses on materials that will be given an outdoor use.

The goal is to generate surfaces capable of cleaning themselves with the action of sunlight and ambient humidity, using photocatalytic and hydrophilic coatings made of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

The application would be used in coatings for materials with exterior uses such as tiles and ceramic tiles, natural stone and wood.

The incorporation of nanostructured materials will allow to obtain coatings that in addition to protecting against solar radiation, humidity, fungi, insects, and other biological colonies, can contribute to destroy the organic matter that is deposited on the surface, causing the rapid deterioration of it.
