Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be grafted to metal-oxide photocatalysts such as titanium oxide by simple UV irradiation in solution or melt. The PDMS graft metal oxides are still photocatalytically active. They are hydrophobic, liquid repellent, self-cleaning, prevent biofouling and are long-term stable even in UV light.Entities:
