Nanocomposites for the protection of heritage buildings
A new study describes the synthesis of an Ag-TiO2/PDMS nanocomposite protective coating and its use as a self-cleaning, water repellent and antimicrobial agent. The protection of historical sites becomes a necessity due to several decay phenomena induced by pollution, microorganism colonisation, and water. A new research study has focused on elaborating photo-activated nanocomposites to protect […]
