Nanoarchitectonics for polymer-ceramic hybrid coated ceramic tiles for antibacterial activity and wettability

Synthesis of zeolite‐derived blue nanopigment and its modification for hydrophobic coating on ceramic tile

“…In the field of enhancing ceramic surfaces, numerous studies have explored ways to make ceramic tiles and sanitary wares superhydrophobic and antibacterial. Different materials and methods, including variations in temperature calcination, have been applied in these investigations 29–32 . A noteworthy example is the work by Qiao et al., which introduced a unique method to create hydrophobic silica particles using SDS as a modifying agent 25 .…”

“…Different materials and methods, including variations in temperature calcination, have been applied in these investigations. [29][30][31][32] A noteworthy example is the work by Qiao et al, which introduced a unique method to create hydrophobic silica particles using SDS as a modifying agent. 25 The process involved mixing in water, spray drying, and thermal treatment, eliminating the need for organic solvents.…”

Effect of Solvent on Superhydrophobicity Behavior of Tiles Coated with Epoxy/PDMS/SS

“…A material is known to be superhydrophobic when it has a water contact angle of more than 150 • and a negligible titling angle of less than 10 • [1,2]. Superhydrophobic coating has gained more attention and lead to many applications such as antiicing [3,4], anti-fogging [5,6], oil-water separation [7,8], anti-corrosion [9][10][11], selfcleaning [12,13], antibacterial [14,15] and biomedical applications [16]. Various methods that have been used for preparation of rough surfaces are layer by layer assembly [17,18], spray-coating [19][20][21], lithography [22,23], sol gel processing [24,25], electrochemical deposition [26,27] and chemical vapour deposition [28].…”
