Abstract

The effect of several pretreatment methods on the wettability of polycrystalline titania-coated glass (Pilkington Activ) and plain glass are investigated. UV/ozone, immersion in aqua regia, and heating (T > 500 degrees C) render both substrates superhydrophilic (i.e., water contact angle (CA)
