This document summarizes a report on developing composite materials with photocatalytic coatings using vacuum and plasma spraying technologies. The aims of the project are to develop and introduce technologies for synthesizing composite materials with photocatalytic coatings at relatively low temperatures. Laboratory samples with highly photocatalytically active coatings have been synthesized. Potential applications of these composite materials include use in hospitals, kitchens, swimming pools, and other areas requiring antibacterial properties or decomposition of organic matter. The technology allows for high-speed coating deposition and synthesis of nanocomposite structures.

synthesis of composite materials with photocatalytic coatings by
vacuum and plasma spraying
- High-speed coating
- Ability of synthesis of nanocomposite structures at
relatively low temperatures (200-300 ° C)
-Relative simplicity of the scaling from laboratory conditions
to industrial applications
- Methods for determination of the photocatalytic activity
have been elaborated
- The conditions for the formation of coatings with optimal set
of photocatalytic properties have been determined
- Laboratory samples with the highest photocatalytic active
coatings were synthesized

organic matter
 Premises requiring high
sterility: hospitals, maternity
hospitals, operating rooms
 Cooking areas and handling
of food: canteens in
kindergartens, catering
outlets
 Swimming pools, aqua
parks, fitness centers
 bathroom equipment
 Self-cleaning surfaces:
buildings facades ,
exhibition halls and other
representative areas
 fog-free glass in motor and
aircraft industry (mirrors,
lights, windows, etc.)
 The use of photocatalytic
technologies to prevent or
eliminate the consequences
of local environmental
accidents in household and
industry (floating
photocatalytic spheres for
water purification from oil
film), in wastewater
treatment systems

8. There may be a number of technological problems at the stage of
testing, the solution of which will require additional research, which in
turn will increase the project deadlines
Risk Factors
It’s not easy to find companies that:
-are ready to use this technology and become «innovators»
-have the necessary resources to purchase expensive vacuum and
plasma systems
-are able to bring to market a fundamentally new product
