Abstract
- The cleaning of traditional ceramics consumes much water and detergents. It is valuable to consider how to endow the ceramics with self-cleaning character. In this paper, titanic-based-crystallites (CaTi(SiO 5) or TiO 2) superhydrophilic glazes with superior self-cleaning properties were in situ prepared by a simple one-time firing method. There is no any extra treatment involved in the preparation process. It was found that the precipitation of titanic-based crystallites in the glaze could be adjusted by controlling the cooling system. The transformation mechanism of the phase was analyzed based on the phase separation state. Stress conditions of a dirt cell on surfaces with different roughness were discussed. The correlation between geometric structure and self-cleaning performance demonstrated that the multi-level structure is vital for self-cleaning performance. The self-cleaning mechanism of the superhydrophilic glaze was proposed. The titanic-based crystallite glazes possess superhydrophilic characteristics (<8.0 °), high hardness (642.44–707.85 kgf·mm−2), and excellent self-cleaning performance to oily ink stamps and relatively good performance to human fecal simulacrum, the miso sauce, due to the multi-level structure with nano-scale surface roughness, showing a good application potential on the self-cleaning domain, i.e. glass and traditional ceramic, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
