Project: Integrated manufacturing process for textiles applications and wood protection
The MANUCOAT research is focused on getting the visible light photocatalytic effect of textile and wood surfaces by developing of a system for plasma treatment of textile and increase wood substrates and deposition of doped nano-TiO2, where dopants envisaged are Ag and Si in order to provide solutions to manufacture self cleaning textiles and wood durability. The project will develop the doped Nanostructured Anatase (particle sizes < 20nm) obtained through hydrothermal procedure in aqueous media, at low temperatures (≤ 200ºC) and high pressures (> 200 atm), in one step without any further thermal treatment and provide a new equipment to be used both for wood and textiles treatment and coating. The marketing potential for photocatalytic coatings is massive, including medical applications, architectural, automotive, food industries, textile, wood and glass industry and environmental protection.
