Self-Cleaning Coating for Protection Against Hazardous Biopathogens and Toxic Chemical Agents Utilizing Both Super Hydrophobic Effects and Suitable Oxide Interfaces

摘要

A dual action self-cleaning and self-decontaminating coating consisting of a superhydrophobic aspect capable of cleaning the surface by having water droplets moving along the surface remove contaminants and a photochemically active aspect capable of disinfecting the surface by producing hydroxyl radicals in the presence of UV radiation and moisture.
