Anti-fog (dew-resistant) coatings were produced employing as active components bifunctional polysiloxanes containing polyether (hydrophilic and polar) groups and trialkoxysilyl groups (permitting durable adhesion to glass surface). These bifunctional polysiloxanes were obtained as a result of consequent hydrosilylation of allyl polyethers and vinyltrialkoxysilane with the use of poly(dimethyl-co--hydromethyl)siloxane. The effect of structure of the polysiloxane used (length of siloxane chain, length of polyether chain, content of functional groups) and its concentration of the coating performance were analyzed. The designed preparation permits easy production of a durable anti-fog and dew-resistant coating from widely accessible raw materials and with no need of special pretreatment of glass surface.

“…Transparent materials allowing light to pass them through without appreciable light scattering are indispensable for a wide range of applications [ 1,2 ] ranging from protective personnel equipment, optical instruments to solar‐powered devices. When exposed to high‐humidity environments or sudden change of temperature, surface fogging on transparent materials causes unintended light scattering, [ 3 ] followed by decreased visibility of optical devices, [ 4 ] lowered energy‐conversion efficiency of solar stills [ 5 ] and solar cells, [ 6 ] and reduced crop yield in greenhouses. [ 7 ] Fogging on glasses also induces annoyance in daily life, and especially triggers health risks in fighting the COVID‐19 pandemic as it increases the frequency of hand‐face touching.…”

Surface wetting prevents surface fogging on transparent materials by facilitating filmwise condensation with specific chemistry, but suffers from material and geometry selectivity. Extreme environments associated with high humidity and mechanical loading further limit their anti‐fogging persistence. Here, a stretchable anti‐fogging tape (SAT) that can be applied to diverse transparent materials with varied curvatures for persistent fogging prevention is reported. The SAT consists of three synergistically combined transparent layers: i) a stretchable and tough layer with large elastic recovery, ii) an endurant anti‐fogging layer insensitive to ambient humidity, and iii) a robustly and reversibly adhesive layer. The SAT maintains high total transmittance (>90%) and low diffuse transmittance (<5%) in high‐humidity environments, under various modes of mechanical deformations, and over a prolonged lifetime (193 days tested so far). Two applications are demonstrated, including the SAT‐adhered eyeglasses and goggles for clear fog‐free vision, and the SAT‐adhered condensation cover for efficient solar‐powered freshwater production.

“…For example, the presence of condensation on optical elements as diverse as mirrors, lenses, and prisms decreases the precision of microscopes and chromatographs [9,10]. In the automotive and aeronautic sectors (e.g., train, vehicle, and aircraft), the fogging of windshields is quite often linked to safety concerns as it causes limited visibility and image distortion [11][12][13][14]. Fogging has also been reported to impair the visual field of endoscopes during surgical procedures [15] and lower the energy-conversion efficiency of solar cells [16].…”

“…In this instance, air mixing first, promotes water evaporation and diminishes the number of potential condensation points [30,31]. The way windshield defrosting/defogging systems operate is an eloquent illustration of this phenomenon [12,32,33]. The incorporation of moist adsorbents [34] or purging by dry air or inert gas [35,36] have also proven to be successful in preventing condensation in dual-panel lens and double-glazed windows, respectively.…”

Glass-and polymer-based materials have become essential in the fabrication of a multitude of elements, including eyeglasses, automobile windshields, bathroom mirrors, greenhouses, and food packages, which unfortunately mist up under typical operating conditions. Far from being an innocuous phenomenon, the formation of minute water drops on the surface is detrimental to their optical properties (e.g., light-transmitting capability) and, in many cases, results in esthetical, hygienic, and safety concerns. In this context, it is therefore not surprising that research in the field of fog-resistant surfaces is gaining in popularity, particularly in recent years, in view of the growing number of studies focusing on this topic. This review addresses the most relevant advances released thus far on anti-fogging surfaces, with a particular focus on coating deposition, surface micro/nanostructuring, and surface functionalization. A brief explanation of how surfaces fog up and the main issues of interest linked to fogging phenomenon, including common problems, anti-fogging strategies, and wetting states are first presented. Anti-fogging mechanisms are then discussed in terms of the morphology of water drops, continuing with a description of the main fabrication techniques toward anti-fogging property. This review concludes with the current and the future perspectives on the utility of anti-fogging surfaces for several applications and some remaining challenges in this field.
