Hydrophilic coatings, an effective strategy to achieve anti-fogging performance on substrates, still face the problem of poor endurability. In this work, a hydrophilic antifogging coating consisting of poly (2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid- co -butyl acrylate- co -dopamine methacrylamide) was constructed, which shows significant anti-fogging performance, notable abrasion resistance and excellent adhesion. The combination of strong interfacial adhesion and hydrophilic/hydrophobic structure is key to this approach, which avoids interfacial failure and swelling-induced wrinkles under typical fogging conditions. The adhesion strength is higher than most commercial glues and high-performance polymer adhesives in the literatures since the catechol groups endows the coating marvelous adhesion to the substrate. This study provides a promising avenue for the design and fabrication as well as practical application of anti-fogging coating with strong adhesion strength.

The inevitable presence of fog causes a loss of light transmission in optical materials and leads to many unacceptable and serious consequences. A promising strategy for avoiding fog is to modulate the wettability of the material surface and further change the formed way of droplets. Although many works achieved high antifogging coatings, they are lack of the long-lasting antifogging at varied conditions. In this work, a high adhesion strength and persistent antifogging capability hydrophilic coating is obtained by utilizing silane coupling agents containing double bonds such as triethoxyvinylsilane (A151) and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (KH570) with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and then compositing with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The coating composed of A151 has a relatively uniform and flat surface structure, due to weaker hydrolysis ability of A151 promoted the smooth condensation speed, compared to KH570. Thanks to the hydrophilic and hydrophobic balance properties of the A151-modulated coating network, the resultant coating exhibits good antifogging performance in the range of 0 °C to 90 °C, which keeps a light transmission of about 85 %. Surprisingly, the coating shows excellent adhesion (350–700 kPa) to the substrate, which is significantly better than other conventional hydrophilic antifogging coatings, and the hydrophilic and hydrophobic modulation capability and the enhanced interfacial adhesion of A151 segments provide the basis of the coating for long-lasting antifogging, which would open up a new way of durable hydrophilic antifogging coatings.

Hydrophilic anti-fogging coating has become a research hotspot due to its good anti-fogging performance and easy preparation. In this work, a zwitterionic anti-fogging coating with anti-fouling and self-healing properties was prepared by (Methacryloyloxy)ethyldimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) (SBMA) and Itaconic acid (IA). And the antifogging performance of the coating has been improved due to -COOH from IA. The high light transmittance (over 95%) can be observed after anti-fogging test. We use amide bonds to connect the coating to the glass slide, which greatly improves the water resistance and durability. The coated glass can maintain anti-fogging property after being immersed in water for 7 days or stored for over 200 days. Results show that the anti-fogging coating has good self-healing function and oil stain resistance. The contact angle of the coated glass slide is 8.17°, and shows a good super hydrophilicity. This anti-fogging coating provides great potential for applications in medical, food industry, transportation .etc.

Superhydrophilic SiO 2 coatings offer unparalleled advantages in terms of antifogging properties. However, they show suboptimal mechanical abrasion resistance and environmental durability, limiting their application. Accordingly, research has focused on the trade-off between hydrophilicity and mechanical abrasion resistance as well as between environmental durability and visible transmittance in superhydrophilic SiO 2 coatings. Herein, a composite-structure coating with a densely distributed particulate phase and enhanced crosslinking strength is developed without the use of organic compounds. The coating exhibits remarkable transparency and antifogging properties, with an average transmittance similar to that of bare glass and a water contact angle of approximately 0°. Moreover, the coating exhibits impressive hardness and adhesion of up to 4H and 5B, respectively. The coating retained its antifogging properties even after undergoing 500 cycles of wear induced using a 3000-mesh sandpaper, impact of sand (40 g) dropped from a height of 40 cm, 10 weeks of exposure to the outdoor environment, and 25 h of immersion in water. The test results demonstrate that the coating exhibits satisfactory mechanical abrasion resistance and environmental durability, which are essential for its practical applications. The composite structure formed using linear SiO 2 molecules as crosslinking agents with spherical SiO 2 nanoparticles considerably enhances the adhesion and abrasion resistance of the coatings. Overall, the developed composite-structure coatings will facilitate their commercial viability and expand the application of superhydrophilic materials in various research fields.

In order to improve the oil-repellent and antifouling ability of the antifog coatings, a poly(vinyl alcohol)/hydrolyzed poly (styrene-co-maleic anhydride)/fluorocarbon surfactant (PVA/H-PSMA/FC) was prepared by incorporating a fluorocarbon surfactant into PVA/H-PSMA via hydrogen bonds. The microstructure, antifog and oil-repellent properties were investigated in our study, and the results indicate that the strong interaction between the PVA/H-PSMA and the FC provides a good fixation for the FC inside or on the surface of the coatings. The water contact angle (WCA) ranges from 59° to 69° and the oil contact angle (OCA) ranges from 35° to 50°, which means that the PVA/H-PSMA/FC coatings are hydrophilic and oleophilic. The results also demonstrate that the prepared PVA/H-PSMA/FC coating exhibits excellent antifog properties and high transparency. Moreover, the oil droplets may slip off the coating surface without any residue and the glide angle is below 12°. A low content of FC loaded creates a large space between FC molecules, thus providing enough hydrophilicity on the PVA/H-PSMA surface and achieving excellent antifog performance. Meanwhile, the mobile fluorinated alkyl chains on the surface can be reorganized and act as “slides” to easily move oil droplets at low TA, providing oil repellency. The excellent oil-repellency makes the transparent PVA/H-PSMA/FC antifog coatings have potential application prospects in the field of surface protection of optical equipment and solar panel.

Antifogging coatings are urgently needed in daily life. However, current research efforts seldom focus on enhancing the mechanical wear resistance of coatings or investigating their antifogging properties under wet and dry conditions. Herein, a robust dual-cross-linked polymeric antifogging coating was developed through the UV curing of poly[(methacryloxyethyl)dimethylheptylammonium bromide–acrylic acid] (pMDHAB–AA) and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA). Taking advantage of the dual-cross-linked structure and the delicate balance of hydrophilic–hydrophobic components in pMDHAB–AA, the coating presented durable antifogging performances, including long-time antifogging in hot vapor and numerous antifogging in an alternation of wetting and drying and robust mechanical wear resistance. In addition, based on the hygroscopic nature of the quaternary ammonium groups, the coating was endowed with oleophobicity underwater, an ultralow friction coefficient, and antibacterial and resistance-to-bacterial-adhesion performances. More importantly, the antifogging coating plays a crucial role in enhancing substrate transparency by reducing the diffuse reflection. This prepared material addresses current concerns related to antifogging coatings and holds significant potential for applications in various fields, including optical glass, medical devices, agricultural films, etc.

Although many antifogging surfaces have been successfully developed, constructing a surface with both antifogging and frost resistance properties is still a great challenge since the condensed water inevitably turns into an ice layer under freezing conditions. Herein, an antifogging/frost-resistant polymeric coating consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) and salicylic acid is developed on the basis of a hydrogen bond cross-linking strategy. Unlike conventional superhydrophilic antifogging surfaces, the excellent antifogging/frost resistance performance over a broad range of temperatures ( ca. −196.6 to 85 °C), is ascribed to the water-absorbing capability of the coating. Moreover, the coating also exhibits efficient self-healing properties in a wet environment. Due to its simplicity and efficiency, this type of coating may serve as an excellent antifogging/frost-resistant platform for a broad range of applications in optics-related areas.

Given the vulnerability of conventional antifogging coatings to mechanical damage, self-healing capability can significantly restore their functionality, but are difficult to materialize quickly and effectively. Herein, we report a facile UV-curable antifogging coating, based on host–guest interaction to obtain both ultra-fast self-healing performance and robust mechanical properties. Initially, a pair of host–guest supermolecules (HGSM) consisting of acrylic β-cyclodextrin (Aβ-CD) and acrylic adamantane (AAM) are synthesized and utilized as cross-linkers. Together with hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and methyl methacrylate (MMA), a robust antifogging coating with ultra-fast self-healing ability is developed via a facile UV curing process. Benefitting from the delicate balance of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic constituents, the resultant coatings display excellent antifogging performance with ∼90 % of light transmission, ranging from −20 °C to 85 °C. The unique non-covalent host–guest structure was covalently integrated into a cross-linked network, as-prepared coating and bulk gel exhibited ultra-fast self-healing capability, needing only ∼15 s to completely heal the cracks under the hot-steam environment (85 °C). And the bulk gels with host–guest recognition can significantly improve its self-healing efficiency to ∼88.3 %, significantly greater than its H-bonding counterpart (43.5 %). Notably, the prepared coating with strong adhesion properties (∼431 KPa) is robust enough to withstand 1,000 cycles of abrasion and 2 h of water immersion to maintain excellent antifogging performance. This strategy might open new avenues for accelerating the use of host–guest assembly to rapidly build effective antifogging/self-healing coatings and promote their applications in more harsh fogging conditions.

Tough hydrogels capable of achieving instant and strong adhesion to diverse surfaces are highly desirable for various applications such as soft electronics and antifogging coatings. However, existing hydrogel adhesives currently suffer from several limitations including slow adhesion formation, weak bonding, and poor mechanical properties . Herein, we present that strong adhesion of tough nanocomposite hydrogels can be realized instantly by rapid copolymerization of precursor solution within seconds under ambient conditions. Such tough hydrogels possessing ultrashort gelation time were prepared based on self-catalytic Fe 3+ /tannic acid redox pairs, which could activate ammonium persulfate initiator to generate abundant sulfate radicals to trigger ultrafast copolymerization of N, N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and acrylic acid (AA) in the presence of Al(OH) 3 nanoparticles . The resultant hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties including tensile strength of ∼1.0 MPa and compressive strength of ∼15.0 MPa, high adhesion energy of ∼1200 J m − 2 , and good conductivity of 0.72 S/m. Benefiting from these features, the sustainable antifogging hydrogel coatings on diverse transparent substrates can be fabricated easily based on the combined advantages of ultrafast polymerization and instant strong adhesion. Furthermore, the conductive hydrogels can be assembled into flexible strain sensors to monitor various human motions and handwriting recognition. This work provides a promising strategy to design high-performance hydrogels with instant strong adhesion, antifogging properties, and strain sensing.

Preventing surface fogging is critical for maintaining transparency in various transparent applications such as windows, mirrors and goggles. However, the fabrication of durable antifogging surfaces has been significantly challenging. The challenges include the lack of a simple preparation method, low coating hardness, poor water resistance and inability to self-healing. In this work, we developed an organic-inorganic interpenetrating hydrophilic antifogging coating using vinyl hybridized silica nanoparticles (VSNPs), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and methacrylic acid (MAA). A durable antifogging coating with self-healing capabilities has been prepared using a facile UV curing process. Such a hybrid coating can maintain its outstanding antifogging performance even after 4000 cycles of sand abrasion and 36 h of water immersion. Due to these outstanding properties and facile preparation, VSNPs-PVA/PMAA coating shows great potential in practical applications.

Films with antifogging properties can be used in a wide range of fields, from manufacturing to agriculture, such as screens, camera lenses, and greenhouse films. In this study, a scraping technique was utilized to coat antifogging films on polyethylene substrate by using a solution containing polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, and glycerin with suspended titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The resulting hydrophilic coating has outstanding antifogging, self-healing, and anti-fouling qualities due to the polymer’s great hydration capacity. The coating also held up well during prolonged heat and ultraviolet exposure (40 °C for 17 days and 192 h of 1.27 mW/cm 2 UV radiation). Furthermore, when exposed to 30 g sands impact from a height of 10 to 40 cm, 18 days outdoors and 1 h soaking in polar and non-polar solvents (absolute ethanol, isopropanol, n-hexane and n-hexadecane), the hydrophilicity and antifogging performance were well sustained. Different flexible/rigid substrates, such as PET, PC, PVC, and others, can be successfully coated with antifogging film by using such simple construction approach.

Although polycarbonate (PC) is widely used in various applications, its inherent hydrophobicity limits its potential in applications that require high light transmittance due to surface fog caused by changes in temperature or humidity in the environment. This work presents a facile method to fabricate transparent antifogging coatings on PC substrates based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide- co -2-aminoethyl methacrylate) (P(HEAA-co-AEMA)), in which the AEMA segments have an amino functional group that can react with the ester group on the surface of the PC substrate to form covalent urethane bonds during the heat curing process, avoiding the problems of coating susceptibility to mechanical damage, ease of peeling, etc. Moreover, HEAA units are employed as hydrophilic groups , providing antifogging performance. These antifogging coatings can be easily obtained by coating P(HEAA-co-AEMA) copolymers on PC substrates at room temperature and then curing them by thermal treatment. These transparent coatings exhibited excellent antifogging and self-cleaning performance. Furthermore, the coatings exhibited good adhesion in the cross-cut test and thermal stability in the hot water resistance test. Therefore, the present P(HEAA-co-AEMA) copolymer coatings are promising for practical antifogging applications.
