Abstract:

The present work provides a brief but wide ranging survey of the different methods that may be used to apply thick films of titanium dioxide for self-cleaning building materials. This survey is preceded by a general description of the photocatalytic applications of TiO₂, a tabulated list of some relevant properties of the three naturally occurring polymorphs of TiO₂ and a tabulated survey of world market shares and resources of TiO₂. The survey of coating technologies consists of succinct coverage of twenty potential periodic and continuous routes for the application of liquid borne suspensions of TiO₂ to building units. This coverage consists mainly of an illustration accompanied by relevant comments concerning the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
