| Abstract: | The main purpose of study was to provide a common synergy using Ag+‐doped calcium phosphate powder and high‐temperature‐stable TiO2 for antibacterial and photocatalytic tile applications. Thermally stable SiO2‐modified TiO2 active layer was deposited on Ag+‐activated ceramic tiles by spray coating. The results showed that a nearly 100% cleanability degree was detected for SiO2‐modified TiO2 (TS)‐coated antibacterial tiles when compared uncoated and unmodified TiO2‐coated tiles. Antibacterial tests and colorimetric analyses indicated that ceramic tiles provide both antibacterial and photocatalytic properties simultaneously. |
