Application of Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis to Construction Materials - State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 194-TDP

Titanium dioxide photocatalysis is based on the semiconducting nature of its anatase crystal type. Construction materials with titanium photocatalyst show performances of air purification, self-cleaning, water purification, antibacterial action.

This book describes principles of titanium dioxide photocatalysis, its applications to cementitious and noncementitious materials, as well as an overview of standardization of testing methods.
