Experimental investigation of the effect of titanium nano-particles on the properties of hydrophobic self-cleaning film

Today, due to the industrialization of human societies and the need to use fossil fuels as much as possible, the face of most cities in the world has become black and dirty due to pollution and fats from these fuels. In proportion to the progress of societies, the discovery of nano-sized materials can be the solution to many problems. Among them, two types of self-cleaning and hydrophobic coatings have been developed, which are based on hydrophobic properties, but with the difference that self-cleaning coatings are possible. Clean surfaces only by sunlight. By creating a coating of this material on the exterior of buildings and various structures, it is possible to decompose existing pollution, which are mostly hydrocarbon compounds, only by using sunlight. In addition to creating anti-water properties, nano self-cleaning solutions are very effective with the use of statin light that removes dust from surfaces. One of its applications is to use as anti-fog and self-cleaning materials. The hydrophilic properties of its materials allow water to spread completely on the surface instead of remaining as small droplets. Therefore, it can achieve anti-fog and self-cleaning effects. In these compounds, the catalyst can have self-cleaning and anti-fog effects. The complementary combination of PEG and 2SiO2 can improve such catalyst efficiency as crystal structure, crystal size, porosity level, and surface area.
