摘要
The formation and spray coating, with Degussa P25 titanium dioxide (TiO2), of a room temperature curable resin to form a photocatalytically active material is described in this paper. The TiO2 surface layers produced have been characteristed with the aid of scanning electron microscope analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the samples tested using a gas phase continuous flow type photoreactor, the test pollutant being propene. Analysis of the test results indicates the potential of TiO2 coated polymers to form effective photocatalytic materials, with the potential to improve indoor air quality and reduce the energy consumption of ventilation systems.
