Abstract
This review summarises the key topics in the field of self-cleaning coatings, concentrating on the materials that have been used in commercial applications and recent research that aims to improve these materials. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings are discussed, and the various mechanisms of self-cleaning are described and related to the material properties of the coatings. Although several multinational companies have released products incorporating self-cleaning coatings, there remains much potential in this field.
