Photocatalysis based on TiO has attracted much attention for enviromnental cleaning and antibacterial applications [1-3], In order to synthesize TiO nanoparticles, various modification of the sol-gel method have been widely used. However, sol-gel prepared TiO requires a post-calcination process for crystallization [4], which limits the applicability of TiO coatings to temperatnre resistant substrates. On the other hand, the solvothermal method, which does not need to be followed... 

In the section below we incorporate a detail discussion regarding NS-Ti02 as agent in self- cleaning and antibacterial applications. 

Quaternary pyridinium polymers can show biological activity when bound to surfaces, e.g., poly(4-vinyl pyridine)-modified glass surfaces which were modified using different alkyl bromide derivatives. Suitable polymers for antibacterial applications not only exhibit antibacterial activity, but also non-toxicity to human cells (i.e., selectivity). 

Polyurethanes (PU) and PEG-containing PU with and without free isocyanate end group-coated silica particles can be fabricated and show good potential for use in practical antibacterial applications. 

Chitosan (CS) nanofibers with a diameter of 150-200 nm were fabricated from a mixed chitosan/ poly (vinyl alcohol) solution by the electrospinning method. Hen egg-white lysozyme was iimno-bilized on electrospun CS nanofibers via cross-hnked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) and used for effective and continuous antibacterial applications. CS has excellent biological properties, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, non-toxicity, hydrophilicity, high...

NO-releasing biomaterials have been developed for antibacterial applications including polymeric materials, xerogel, sol gel,i i and silica nanoparticles. Two different classes of NO donors, diazeniumdiolates and nitrosothiols, are commonly used. The diazeniumdiolates, also called as NONOates, are synthesized by reaction of amines with NO gas to form relatively stable compounds that spontaneously release NO on contact with bodily fluids.

These properties make essential oils of importance in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, particularly in antifungal and antibacterial applications of the oils or component molecules. However, formulation of essentials oils is required to achieve efficacy and stability, and alginate provides a basis for delivery of these oils.
