Introduction

Ceramic tiles due to having excellent chemical stability, as well as good appearance are widely used in different places such as hospitals and buildings. normally, the microorganisms reproduce easily on the ceramic tile surface, especially in wet environment. The silver-titanium nanocomposite particles have an antibacterial effect which can kill more than 650 different types of bacteria and they are not harmful to the environment and the human body. The silver-titanium nanocomposite particles along with silver ions in the ceramic glaze, penetrate the cell walls of bacteria and microorganisms and prevent their growth and reproduction. These nanoparticles can be mixed with ceramic glaze as an additive.

Introduction

Contrary to the compact structure, the presence of surface cavities with nanometer and micrometer dimensions makes the tile sensitive to the stain and penetration of the contamination. Colloidal nano silica acts as a binder, polishing agent and coating to fill these pores and prevent the stains and dirt from penetrating into the surface.
