Abstract :
The production of films with multifunctionality is of increasing commercial interest. In this paper we concentrate on titania and its combination with other materials in the form of multilayers. Titania is an excellent photocatalyst giving rise to its ‘self-clean’ ability and this combined with tin oxide (energy enhanced coatings), silver (biocidal) and vanadium dioxide (thermochromic) are discussed. We show that not only can the combined functionality be achieved but there can be extra benefits such as increased durability.
