A study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection examined the efficacy of titanium dioxide coating in reducing the microbial colonization of environmental surfaces in an intensive care unit.

A new study by engineers and food scientists demonstrates that a durable coating, made from titanium dioxide, is capable of eliminating foodborne germs, such as salmonella and E. coli, and provides a ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is transmitted via airborne droplets and surface contamination.

A sprayable coating that prevents the surface spread of infection from bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19, over a sustained period has been developed by a team of Australian researchers. A first ...

Several methods have been used to prepare titania films, and these include chemical vapour deposition (CVD), pulsed laser deposition, reactive sputtering and sol-gel deposition. The sol-gel technique ...

Hydrophobic surfaces show low surface energy, so water droplets tend to repel against the surface and create beads that form a spherical droplet with a high water contact angle (>90°). Surfaces can be ...
