Nano‐scaled titanium dioxides are used as UV‐absorbers and to obtain certain color effects in pigmented coatings. For this they are generally required to have good phototresistivity. This is accomplished by doping of the crystal lattice with other elements than titania and by surface treatment with layers of inorganic substances. Currently the use of photoreactive nano‐scaled titanias is being studied to formulate self cleaning and antimicrobial coatings.
