Abstract: This work reports the preparation of bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes with self-cleaning properties. SiO 2 @TiO 2 (anatase) spherical nanocomposites (around 50 nm in diameter) were prepared by sol–gel process ...

Coatings are largely used in industries. However the development of new materials with improved properties still feeds a continuous need for performance, cost or endurance, the coatings are obtained by a hybrid material, ...
