Abstract
Composite material () comprises a substrate () and a chemically, mechanically, physically, catalytically and/or optically functional titanium oxide layer (), applied on at least one side thereof. A titanium oxide layer () is deposited on the substrate () as a base layer (), made from TiOwith an oxygen content of 0.7≦x<2, or made from TiO(OH)with an oxygen content of 0.5≦x<2 and a hydroxide content of 0≦y<0.7 and an upper layer () of amorphous and/or crystalline TiOapplied to said base layer (). In a first method variation, firstly a base layer () of TiOwith an oxygen content of 0.7≦×<2 is reactively or non-reactively deposited, then, through an increase in the oxygen content, the process pressure, the capacity and/or the substrate temperature, an upper layer () of amorphous and/or crystalline TiOis deposited. In a second method variation, firstly a base layer () of TiOwith an oxygen content of 0.7≦x<2 is reactively or non-reactively deposited and then post-oxidized on the surface by means of an electrochemical, thermal and/or plasma process, until the base layer () is converted into amorphous or crystalline TiOat least partly in an upper layer ().
