Abstract

TiO₂ nanoparticles with a mean size of 20-30 nm were covered by ultrathin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film, which shows hydrophobic properties. Surfaces consisting of the PDMS-coated TiO₂ particles showed water contact angles close to 170°. In contrast to the hydrophobic films consisting of organic molecules, which can be photocatalytically decomposed on TiO₂ in the presence of UV light, PDMS-coating on TiO₂ was highly stable. The PDMS-coating completely suppressed the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂. The unique properties of PDMS-coating can be exploited for UV protection layer and self-cleaning surfaces.
