“…Microbial contaminant treatment plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases, and the antibacterial activity of materials can reflect their ability to treatment microbial contaminant [45][46][47]. The antimicrobial activity of ZnO/B-hydrogel and K-ZnO/B-hydrogel were assessed in visible light condition at water environment.…”

The significant improvement of decolorization and disinfection technologies has been a hotspot in wastewater reutilization. In this study, we realized a novel construction of K-doped nano-ZnO and borneol based hydrogel composite material (K-ZnO/B-hydrogel) by low-temperature in situ sol-gel growth. The techniques such as fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were applied to recognize the synthesized hydrogel. The results reveal that K-doped ZnO nanoparticles have been uniformly decorated onto the B-hydrogel. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra show that impurity doping of potassium element into ZnO could reduce the band gap, improving the visible light absorption efficiency. In virtue of photodegradation and antimicrobial experiments, K-ZnO/B-hydrogel exerts great advantage for methylene blue (MB) removal, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) sterilization under visible light irradiation. This composite will push ahead with a closed-loop wastewater treatment system for dye and pathogenic microorganism disposal, which combines the excellent adsorption ability of hydrogel and the outstanding photocatalytic ability of ZnO nanoparticles with easy sample handling and separation, and help to eliminate secondary pollution.

“…Moreover, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) incorporated with ZrO 2 can produce superhydrophobic surfaces on cotton fabrics [31]. Additionally, the Nature-Inspired Self-Cleaning Surfaces in the Nanotechnology Era photocatalytic printed film of titania polypyrrole (PPy/TiO 2 ) nanocomposites shows excellent photocatalytic, self-cleaning, and antibacterial functionalities [32]. It is, therefore, possible to create self-cleaning surfaces using a suitable polymer together with other metal oxides.…”

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 to break down organic compounds during daylight at outdoor applications. In addition, self-cleaning surfaces and coatings are attracting research attention due to their ability to self-disinfect. This review highlights the use of metal oxide-based nanocomposite for self-cleaning purposes. This chapter provides an outlook of different metal oxide and metal-metal oxide nanocomposites in advancing self-cleaning properties, durability, and other mechanical properties. This chapter aims to give a general overview of a variety of polymeric metal oxide-based systems and methods that enhance self-cleaning behavior as well as the projection toward future research.
