Influence of pigments on the photoactivity of TiO2-containing colored mortars compared with white mortars and sol-gel TiO2 application route

Diamanti M.V., Del Curto B., Ormellese M., Pedeferri MP., Politecnico di Milano, IT

In previous works, TiO2-containing commercial mortars were proved to show photoactivated properties due to the well-known semiconducting structure of titanium dioxide in anatase form. Anatase was added to white mortars in form of suspension or [...]

Photoactive and coloured anodic oxides on titanium for architectural and design applications

Diamanti M.V., Del Curto B., Ormellese M., Pedeferri MP., Politecnico di Milano, IT

Anodising processes can lead to the formation of oxides showing a wide range of interference colours with different hues and saturations depending on process parameters. The control of morphology, structure and homogeneity of the oxide [...]

Development of a New Treatment to Induce Anatase Growth on Ti

Pedeferri M., Bottani C.E., Cattaneo D., Li Bassi A., Del Curto B., Brunella M.F., Politecnico di Milano, IT

Aim of the work has been the evaluation of the application of a novel treatment of the Ti surface in order to increase anatase growth. Two different anodizing methodologies, previously developed were considered, followed by [...]
