Magnetic artificial cilia (MAC) are small actuators inspired by biological found in nature. In microfluidic chips, MAC can generate flow and remove microparticles, with applications anti-fouling. However, the used for anti-fouling current literature has dimensions of several hundred micrometers length, which limits application to relatively large length scales. Here, biologically-sized magnetic...

Titanium(IV) oxide (TiO 2 , titania) is well-known for its excellent photocatalytic properties, wide bandgap, chemical resistance, and photostability. Nanostructured TiO extensively utilized in various electronic energy-related applications such as resistive switching memory devices, flat panel displays, photodiodes, solar water-splitting, photocatalysis, cells. This article presents recent adv...

The use of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) in the form Ultrafine particles as a coating for concrete pavement have received considerable attention recent years these can trap anti compose organic and inorganic air pollutant by photocatalytic process. In spite promising benefits, durability resistance to wear coatings has not been evaluated. objective this study is determine effect on with spectrophotom...

Underwater superoleophobic materials with low adhesion have been widely researched owing to their self-cleaning and anti-corrosive properties. In this study, polypyrrole (PPy) nanowire meshes have been successfully fabricated by in situ electrochemical polymerization on stainless steel mesh substrates in the presence of phosphate buffered saline as both an electrolyte and a dopant. PPy nanowire...

Common cotton textiles are hydrophilic and oleophilic in nature. Superhydrophobic cotton textiles have the potential to be used as self-cleaning fabrics, but they typically are not super oil-repellent. Poor oil repellency may easily compromise the self-cleaning property of these fabrics. Here, we report on the preparation of superoleophobic cotton textiles based on a multilength-scale structure...

–In this study cotton fabric was pretreated with nano TiO2 (<100nm) particles by Pad-Dry-Cure technique. The deposition of nano particles on the fabric was observed by SEM and elementally analyzed by oxford –Inca software using SEM. The treated fabric was analyzed for the change in their physical, biological and functional properties compared to the untreated cotton fabric. Very encouraging res...

The self-cleaning of glasses can be realized by coating the photoinduced super-hydrophilic nanoporous thin films based on TiO2 photocatalysts via sol–gel route. In this study, a new method to enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin films direct coated on the glass was developed by doping SiO2 in the films. The effects of post-annealing and the SiO2 content of TiO2 film on the photocata...
