The optimum hydrophobic activity resembling the lotus effects could be achieved by the inclusion of bimetallic nanoparticles in the tellurite-based glass. We prepared and characterized the new self-cleaning tellurite zinc-silicate glasses embedded with the silver (Ag) and Titania (TiO2) nanoparticle...
