Robust self-cleaning glass in this project is achieved by coating a titania-based polymeric sol on the glass surface and subsequently calcined at 500oC. A thin solid transparent film with good robustness 5B (based on ASTM 339D Elcometer scratch test) was acquired. The robust coating was achieved by...
