description Polymer coatings containing thermal blocking and near-infrared (NIR)-reflective pigments have received much attention for their potential applications in energy-saving fields. A drawback of these coatings is sustainability providing similar long-term performance. Surface cleaning is mandatory to remove contaminants that decrease reflectance. In this study, synthesized hollow titania as photocatalyst was used to impart anti-contamination to infrared (IR)-reflective coatings. A TiO<sub>2</sub> shell was selectively formed on an anionic polystyrene core, modified by methacrylic acid. According to sintering temperature, the enhancement of light absorption ability and photocatalytic activity as methyl orange decomposition was observed with phase composition change. The methylene blue decomposition reaction, reflectance measurement, and measuring thermal profiling of coated steel confirmed the manifestation of hollow particles to dust degradation characteristics and the enhancement of reflection and thermal shielding.
