The aim of the present work was to prepare intelligent materials for coatings with advanced protection properties against development of biofilms and deposition on stone, paper and metal surfaces.
Coatings based on metallic and/or inorganic nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel process and via supercritical CO2 in order to achieve manufacturing processes with minimum energy consumption and the least polluting.
The obtained materials were tested both in terms of antibacterial properties, as well as structurally (FTIR, XRD) and morphologically (SEM, TEM).
