Item Multifunctional smart coatings on novel ceramics and glassceramic substrates in the context of the circular economy(2018-01-01) Lyubenova T.S.; Fraga D.; Castelló J.B.C.; Kozhukharov V.; Machkova M.S.Nowadays is time of products generated by ``smart coatings`` that exhibit multiple functionalities. In particular, the construction industry is reached the point where it is possible to fabricate ``smart and sustainable`` buildings that fulfill the requirements of a growing marketplace of products and devices for ``smart cities`` generation. In addition, if the buildings are ``green``, i.e. in accordance with the today's economic model ``made to be made again`` or so-called ``circular economy`` they are very attractive and viable alternative for future businesses and industrial exploring. In this concept, we report a development sustainable ceramic and glass-ceramic tile substrates made by cheap, easily accessible and recycled materials that are further functionalized by different ``smart coatings`` for specific applications. Devices that generate and save energy, air and pollution cleaning, with anti-slip and phosphorescence properties are some examples of the overview that this publication described.
