A Self-Cleaning Approach Utilizing Metal Oxide Thin Films and Nanocomposites

Abdullah Al Nahid

Abstract: Self-cleaning technology mimics the natural self-cleaning abilities of plants and animals such as lotus effect, to create a surface that is hydrophobic and oleophobic, meaning it repels water and oil. The resultant surface is resistant to dirt and grime, making it easier to clean and maintain, reducing labor costs and time consumption. However, it is not only limited to the superhydrophobic surface for making the water roll off instead of sliding but also modern research focuses on incorporating photocatalysts… Show more
