Photoactive titania and nanoparticulate silver-titania composite thin films as potent antimicrobial coatings
Nanocrystalline titania (anatase) and Ag-doped titania (anatase) coatings were prepared on glass microscope slides by a sol-gel dip-coating method. The resultant coatings were characterised by X-ray diffraction, XANES, Raman, SEM/WDX, XPS and UV visible techniques [...]
