Preparation of TiO2 coatings on PET monoliths for the photocatalytic elimination of trichloroethylene in the gas phase

This paper presents the first data on the performance of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monoliths as photocatalytic support. For this purpose, first a protective layer of SiO2 was applied to the polymer to prevent oxidation of the substrate, and subsequently the photoactive layer of TiO2 was depos...
