Mesoporous TiO2 films was prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly and dip-coating method. And the pore size of the TiO2 films is adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of H2O/TiO2 (H value). Water contact angle was chosen to represent the hydrophilic property, and XRD and AFM were carried out to characterize the films. With the increase of H value, the pore size increased firstly then decreased. And when H is 15, the pore size is the biggest, which hydrophilicity in dark is the best too. With the extention of the non-irridation time, the hydrophilicity is worse. And the reason may be ascribed to the adsorption of organic matter in air.

The facile, simple, highly efficient, and fluorine-free fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces on fabrics with high durability has attracted considerable attention because of its urgent practical application. The simple dip-coating method was adopted to make a stable and durable polydimethylsiloxane/stearic acid/silica (PDMS/STA/SiO2) superhydrophobic fabric. The fabric’s surface morphology, roughness, and composition were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The PDMS/STA/SiO2-coated fabric: demonstrated strong superhydrophobicity (a water contact angle (WCA) of around 163°), efficiently repelled different liquids (milk, coffee, orange juice, Coca-Cola, and 1 M of HCl and NaOH) with a contact angle above 155°, had excellent self-cleaning performance, and retained superhydrophobicity with a WCA greater than 150° after 72 h of ultraviolet irradiation and 700 cycles of mechanical abrasion. The PDMS/STA/SiO2 coating had few influences on the color fastness of the fabric. Superhydrophobic coatings are expected to be practically applied in the textile industry.

The hydrophobic surface can be self-cleaning. The hierarchy of surface roughness affects the hydrophobic surface. In this research, the hydrophobic surface was fabricated by modification of surface roughness from the composite filler. Natural silica was used as a filler and was done a variation of calcination temperature to modify the hierarchy of roughness formed. The variation of calcination temperature was 800°C, 1000°C, 1200°C, and 1400°C. The coating method was a dip-coating method by 30-second long immersion. A glass as coating media was coated by PVDF/SiO2 composite. The hydrophobic surface could be known from the value of the water contact angle (WCA) formed. If a water contact angle more than 90°, the surface could be called the hydrophobic surface. In this research, the hydrophobicity aspect cause of variation of calcination temperature was known from the value of water contact angle formed on the surface of PVDF/SiO2 composite coating 800°C, 1000°C, 1200°C, and 1400°C was 117,12° ± 0,98°, 107,80° ± 0,91°, 121,31° ± 1,45°, and 111,75° ± 1,47°, respectively.

Due to their unique physicochemical properties, polysilazanes exhibit excellent performance when combined with some resin matrixes, which had drawn great research attention. In this article, polyurethane (PU) was firstly prepared by polytetrahydrofuran glycol, isophorone diisocyanate, and 1,4-butanediol as main materials. Then, the prepared PU was blended with polysilazane by mixing the two solutions together, which was cured to films via dip-coating method at room temperature. The structure, thermal stability, and surface properties of the composite coatings were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that after modification with polysilazane, the heat resistance, hydrophobicity, and mechanical property of the PU coatings were improved. When the content of polysilazane was 6 wt%, the mechanical property of the composite films was optimized, with a maximum tensile strength of 25.7 MPa and elongation at break of 797%. Meanwhile, the water contact angle of the composite film was 107° and the water absorption reached a minimum of 2.1%, which showed improved hydrophobicity and water resistance.

This work aims to study the effect of ZnO containing in TiO2/SiO2 film on the superhydrophilic property after exposed to different types of light. The metal solutions were prepared by sol-gel technique and the film was deposited on glass slides by dip coating method. The parameter studied was the amount of ZnO in the TiO2/SiO2 film. The contents of ZnO were 5-20% weight (increased by 5%). The amount of TiO2 was constant at 30% weight. The obtained films were analyzed for their roughness. The results indicated that film roughness changed according to the ZnO contents. With 5%ZnO in the thin film, the roughness was 0.726 nm while 20%ZnO obtained the roughness of 2.128 nm. UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used for measuring of transmittance of films. At wavelength of 550 nm, the transmittances of each film were greater than 90%. Band gap energy of each film was calculated from the transmittance data. It was found that the average band gap energy of the films was 2.47 eV. Then, the films contained various amount of ZnO were grouped into 2 sets. The first set was exposed to visible light while the other set was exposed to UV. The duration of exposure was 5 hr. Both sets of films after exposed to any light were kept in a black box controlled relative humidity of 85%. Each film was measured contact angle every day. It was found that the 30%TiO2/5%Zn/SiO2 film exposed to visible light showed the best superhydrophilic property. The contact angle was about 0-5° within 3 days. This may due to the reduction of band gap energy in the presence of ZnO in TiO2/SiO2 films to 2.41 eV and the roughness of the film.

The different molar ratios of La/Ti (0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.100) photocatalytic electrodes use in this study were synthesized by sol-gel method and dip-coating method. The XRD pattern of TiO2/ITO presents only anatase phases, [1] but for La-TiO2/ITO presents both anatase and rutile phases. The SEM image of the La-TiO2/ITO showed particles of regular shapes with smaller size (＜10nm) compared to the TiO2/ITO, which presented uniform particles of spherical structure and larger size （20nm）.The La-TiO2/ITO photocatalytic electrode with molar ratio 0.050 shows the best ability both on the absorbtion and photocatalytsis. Applied potential 2.0V would effectively increase the photoelectrocatlaytic activity under visible light irradiation.

In this study, we have successfully synthesized Fe3+ doped SiO2/TiO2 thin films on glass substrates using the sol-gel dip-coating method. After synthesizing, the samples were annealed at 5000C in the air for 1 hour. The characteristics and optical properties of Fe3+ doped SiO2/TiO2 films were then investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). An antifogging ability of the glass substrates coated with the fabricated film is investigated and explained by a water contact angle under visible-light. The analyzed results also show that the crystalline phase of TiO2 thin films comprised only the anatase TiO2, but the crystalline size decreased from 8.8 to 5.9 nm. We also observed that the absorption edge of Fe3+- doped SiO2/TiO2 thin films shifted towards longer wavelengths (i.e. red shifted) from 371.7nm to 409.2 nm when the Fe3+-doped concentration increased from 0 to 1 % mol.

TiO2-Cu thin films containing 0 to 1%Cu coated on glass slides were prepared by sol gel-dip coating method. The prepared thin films were synthesized at the temperature of 400 ◦C for 2 h with a heating rate of 10◦C/min. The microstructures of synthesized TiO2-Cu thin films were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and SEM. The photocatalytic activities of TiO-2Cu thin films were tested using methylene blue (MB) solution under UV irradiation. Finally, the self-cleaning property was evaluated by means of contact angle of water droplet on the films. The results show all samples have the thickness in range of 1 um and surfaces are dense with a large surface area. It can be noted that TiO2-1.0Cu thin films were found to give the highest photocatalytic efficiency and exhibited self-cleaning effect (small contact angle, 17°) under UV irradiation.
