Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic disinfection using titanium dioxide: spectrum and mechanism of antimicrobial activity
TL;DR: The activity has been shown to be capable of killing a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, filamentous and unicellular fungi, algae, protozoa, mammalian viruses and bacteriophage, and the killing activity is enhanced by the presence of other antimicrobial agents such as Cu and Ag.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly bioactive silver and silver/titania composite films grown by chemical vapour deposition
TL;DR: In this article, a flame assisted CVD process was proposed to control the film nanostructure, which is crucial in determining the photo and bioactivity of the combined film structure, and the transparency of the composite films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic antimicrobial activity of thin surface films of TiO(2), CuO and TiO (2)/CuO dual layers on Escherichia coli and bacteriophage T4.

TL;DR: The results show that TiO2/CuO coated surfaces are highly antiviral and may have applications in the food and healthcare industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photo-induced self-cleaning and biocidal behaviour of titania and copper oxide multilayers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the deposition of films of titania and copper oxide by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and assess their potential to offer the dual functionality of self-cleaning and biocidal films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocidal Silver and Silver/Titania Composite Films Grown by Chemical Vapour Deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth and testing of highly active biocidal films based on photocatalytically active films of, grown by thermal CVD, functionally and structurally modified by deposition of nanostructured silver via a novel flame assisted combination CVD process.
