Abstract

<abstract> <p>Fouling of surfaces caused by pollution, contamination, humidity and microorganisms is one of the major sources of the degradation of mineral and composite materials. The inhibition of foulant growth is essential for the prevention of different kinds of damage, ranging from aesthetic, mechanical and chemical, to risks concerning human and environmental health. This study proposes a new approach for the development of a transparent preservative material with water-repellent and biocide attributes through the use of a sol-gel method. It was found that Si–O–Si dense networks can effectively grow into the micro-pores of mineral and cellulose-based materials, promoting self-cleaning properties as well as sufficient protection against bio-fouling.</p> </abstract>
