Article Abstract
Transparent anti-fogging and self-cleaning coatings are of great interest for many applications, including solar panels, windshields and displays or lenses to be used in humid environments. In this paper, we report on the simultaneous synthesis, at atmospheric pressure, of anatase TiO nanoparticles and low-temperature, high-rate deposition of anatase TiO/SiO nanocomposite coatings. These coatings exhibit durable super-hydrophilic and photocatalytic properties. The strategy followed relies on concomitant and separated injections of titania, i.e. titanium isopropoxide, and silica, i.e. hexamethyldisiloxane, precursors in the stream of a blown-arc discharge to form transparent anti-fogging and self-cleaning anatase TiO/SiO nanocomposite coatings on polymer substrates.

Tailored mesoporous silicate nanomaterials have attracted significant interest due to their exceptional surface properties, including high interfacial toughness, tunable thickness, customizable topology, optical transparency, and adjustable hydrophobicity. These characteristics enable them to exhibit a wide range of functional behaviors, such as antibacterial, anti-fouling, anti-fogging, lubricating, and abrasion-resistant properties, to name just a few. With recent advances in surface-modified nanosystems for bioengineering and biomedical applications, silica-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates owing to their ease of surface functionalization, bioactivity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioavailability.

Transparent superhydrophilic coatings exhibiting underwater superoleophobic behavior have garnered significant interest for their promising functionality in fogging resistance and oil repellent applications. However, the development of such coatings with effective anticrude-oil-fouling properties presents a formidable challenge, as conventional approaches to mitigate high-viscosity crude oil adhesion often compromise optical transparency. Herein, we report a bioinspired "double-defense" strategy that integrates a polydopamine/polyethylenimine-dextran (PDA/PEI-D) hydrogel layer with a biomimetic mineralized magnesium phosphate (MP) layer to construct a hierarchical "sesame cake-like" superhydrophilic coating.

With the increasing demand for anti-fogging transparent material and environmental concern, developing sustainable intrinsically hydrophilic and anti-fogging thermoplastic material is important. In this work, thermoplastic starch (TPS) films with good anti-fogging and optical properties were prepared via coordinative interactions with calcium chloride (CaCl), zinc chloride (ZnCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl). Among them, TPS with the incorporation of CaCl exhibited excellent anti-fogging and high optical transparency.

Surface fogging is a common phenomenon that can result in restricted visibility, reduced light absorption, and image distortion. Although both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces are effective in preventing this phenomenon, typical coatings in both have limitations, including low durability and the need for frequent reapplication. To address these issues, a highly durable anti-fogging film that lasts over five weeks, even under high moisture conditions, while maintaining a promising degree of transparency (> 60%) is developed.

Superhydrophobic coatings address the requirements of several application areas with characteristics including corrosion resistance, drag reduction, anti-icing, anti-fogging, and self-cleaning properties. Furthermore, the range of applications for superhydrophobic coatings has been substantially broadened by the inclusion of key performance features such as flame retardancy, thermal insulation, resistance to water penetration, UV resistance, transparency, anti-reflection, and many more.
