FreeNano – Test Methods for Release of Pigment-Nanoparticles Into the Environment at the End of Life Cycle

Stintz M., TU Dresden, DE

Several coatings with and without nanoscaled additives and pigments were exposed to artificial aging and weathering, before they experienced a mechanical treatment by sanding with process parameters similar to professional sanding condition. The miniature sanding [...]

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 [...]

Inkjet ink containing inorganic doped semiconductor (ZnS:Mn) nanoparticle pigments

Angelo P.D., Farnood R.R., University of Toronto, CA

A jettable inkjet ink containing dispersed inorganic semiconductor (ZnS:Mn) pigments has been prepared using colloidal synthesis. This ink was deposited using an inkjet printer to form printed lines of luminescent material. Different binder polymers were [...]
