The selected polymers were coated without a calcination step with anatase-TiO<sub>2</sub> obtained by sol-gel. Their weathering was studied during 150 days of exposure to solar radiation, with and without the TiO<sub>2</sub> layer. It was observed that only poly (methyl methacrylate) retains the titania and the good optical and mechanical properties after the natural weathering, and thus is the best candidate for immobilization of TiO<sub>2</sub> for air photocatalytic treatment applications.</p> </div> <p> </p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>06</month><day>10</day><year>2014</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>525</first_page><last_page>535</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_01446</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.001446</doi><timestamp>1714610396</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_01446</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
