Summary

The commercial development of nanocrystalline photocatalytic materials is potentially huge area of nanomaterials development. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, like all nanomaterials, exhibit unique physical and chemical properties of these materials that are currently finding their way into a raft of applications.

Industrial utilisation of the photocatalytic effect of nanoscale TiO2 has already found its way into various applications, especially for self-cleaning and anti-fogging purposes like self-cleaning tiles, self-cleaning windows by CVD processes or self-cleaning textiles, anti-fogging car mirrors, and the anti-microbial effect also has been demonstrated.

The commercial potential for such coatings are massive, including medical applications, architectural (particularly cultural heritage purposes, facade paints, indoor, wall paper, tiles, consumer goods etc.), automotive and food industries (cleaner technologies, non-fogging glass and mirrors, product safety), textile and glass industry, and environmental protection (water and air purification and disinfection).
