Smart, reusable labels for assessing self-cleaning films

Abstract:
Novel, reversible (reusable) photocatalyst activity indicator labels, which undergo a rapid colour change when in contact with a photocatalytic film via the photoreduction of methylene blue contained within the label's adhesive, are explored as a method for assessing the activity of self-cleaning glass in situ and the laboratory, using digital photography.
