Since the beginning of the novel coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan, China around December
2019, the world has been shaken by the amplitude of this infectious outbreak we now call …

In this chapter, we introduce the subject of surfaces and materials that are self‐cleaning
based on either (1) photocatalytic (PC) reactions or (2) the photo‐induced hydrophilic (PIH) …

Surface contamination with pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli and S. aureus may
lead to the spread of numerous diseases such as pneumonia and sepsis. The most common …
