Abstract

Photocatalytic waterborne coating based on anatase titania nanoparticles imparting self-cleaning, antifogging, and air depolluting properties is now a mature technology that, we argue in this chapter, will shortly become ubiquitous. A number of doubts still surround these coatings. For example, are they health-beneficial via air depollution or do they actually pose health threats through incomplete volatile organic compound oxidation and titania nanoparticle release in the environment? This study offers a critical perspective and identifies the technology and economic drivers that will drive growth in demand and applications. The study is also an educational tool aiding in chemistry undergraduate education renewal process via recent research outcomes and critical thinking.
