A New Approach for Self-Cleaning Silicone-based Facade Coatings
Since being introduced in 1963, silicone resin emulsion paint (SREP) has developed into one of the most modern facade coating systems. While specific formulations and raw materials have changed in the last 42 years, the long-lasting performance properties resulting from the unique combination of water repellency, vapour permeability, low VOC and the silicon-resin based structure have remained c...
متن کاملSelf-cleaning antireflective optical coatings.
Low-cost antireflection coatings (ARCs) on large optical surfaces are an ingredient-technology for high-performance solar cells. While nanoporous thin films that meet the zero-reflectance conditions on transparent substrates can be cheaply manufactured, their suitability for outdoor applications is limited by the lack of robustness and cleanability. Here, we present a simple method for the manu...
متن کاملTiO2-SiO2 Coatings with a Low Content of AuNPs for Producing Self-Cleaning Building Materials
The high pollution levels in our cities are producing a significant increase of dust on buildings. An application of photoactive coatings on building materials can produce buildings with self-cleaning surfaces. In this study, we have developed a simple sol-gel route for producing Au-TiO₂/SiO₂ photocatalysts with application on buildings. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) improved the TiO₂ photoact...
متن کاملA Multi-Scenario Zero-Energy Building Techno-Economic Case Study Analysis for a Renovation of a Residential Building
According to the previous pieces of research, the building sector consumes about 40 % of total yield energy and produce one-third of GHG pollution emission. This point shows the significant potential in two aspects of energy optimization and pollution reduction in this field. The purpose of this research as a case study is to construct a residential building and develop the paths for reaching a...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Cleaning Performance of Air Filters for a Binary Mixture
Abstract—Ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (UV-PCO) technology has been recommended as a green approach to health indoor environment when it is integrated into mechanical ventilation systems for inorganic and organic compounds removal as well as energy saving due to less outdoor air intakes. Although much research has been devoted to UV-PCO, limited information is available on the UV-PCO beh...
