Application of titania nanocoating to clay brick façades for biofouling prevention: efficiency and effect of substratum

The goal of this study was to explain the influence of the total porosity and the surface roughness on the bioreceptivity of clay bricks by phototrophic microorganisms. This correlation was studied on both specimens treated with TiO2 nanocoating and untreated control specimens. An accelerated foulin...
