The efficacy of TiO2 photocatalysis for the destruction of pathogenic bacteria has been
demonstrated by a number of groups over the past two decades. Pathogenic bacteria
represent a significant hazard for the food and drink industry. Current practices in this
industry dictate that rigorous sanitizing regimes must be regularly implemented resulting in
lost production time. The incorporation of a TiO2 antibacterial surface coating in this setting
would be highly desirable. In this paper we report a preliminary study of the efficacy of a …
