Abstract
BaTiO3-polymer paint composites were fabricated to examine piezocatalysis activities. Dye degradation and antibacterial activities were recorded under ultrasonication. The effect of polarization was also examined for the catalysis process. There were significant enhancements in catalysis performance in the poled sample; 80-90% dye degradation was recorded (240 min) in poled samples of BaTiO3-polymer paint composites. The above observations indicate that these composites can be utilized as coatings for self-cleaning applications.
