Original Abstract

Stable mixed dispersion of TiO2 and SiO2 was developed and hybrid TiO2/SiO2 layers were fabricated by the direct inkjet patterning technique. The prepared layers were tested for photoinduced hydrophilicity and their photocatalytic activity was tested using stearic acid and dichloroindophenol as model compounds. The antimicrobial activity of prepared layers was tested and evaluated by the traditional plate counting method according to ISO 27447:2009, using Escherichia coli CCM 3988. Material printing proved to be well suited for the deposition of this complex nanoparticulate ink and samples with variable thickness were conveniently fabricated. Printed layers are able to change their surface properties from hydrophobic to superhydrophilic and also decompose the model contaminants rapidly.
