The Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC-AICE) and the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón (UJI), through its Pre-departmental Unit of Medicine of the Faculty of Health Sciences, and the Department of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Environment of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences (ESTCE), work to achieve the development of biocidal ceramic surfaces through the project "Bioceram: biocidal ceramic materials".

Bioceram is funded by the Regional Ministry of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society through a Nominative Line of the Generalitat Valenciana and arises from the need to understand the mechanisms that cause the biocidal effect of ceramic surfaces, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, with the ultimate goal of developing biocidal ceramics. This need is motivated by the request of end consumers, both citizens and public administrations, for biocidal ceramic materials to respond to both the current pandemic and future biological threats.

In this sense, the great difficulty in making biocidal ceramic materials available is that, depending on the chemical environment in which the biocidal element is found, its capacity to exert this effect will be modified to a greater or lesser extent, or even nullified.

The chemical environment in which the biocide will be found will depend on the type of ceramic product, the presence and type of glaze and the temperature of the firing stage. For this reason, Bioceram is studying the mechanisms of action of different biocides on the main ceramic products manufactured in the Valencian Community: ceramic tiles, roof tiles, table porcelain and sanitary porcelain, with the aim of transferring this knowledge to the ceramic industry.
