“…Persistent anti‐fogging properties is a central challenge faced by existing anti‐fogging approaches but highly desirable for practical deployment. [ 21,22 ] Here, we show our approach can potentially address this challenge. As one example shown in Figure S1a, Supporting Information, the LDPE film sprayed with hydrophilic agents exhibits decreased optical transparency when the film is exposed to heated water vapor at 60 °C for 14 min ( Figure a,c).…”

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.

“…The so-called anti-biofouling surfaces are surfaces that can prevent initial adhesion of microorganisms such as proteins, cells, bacteria, and other bio-contaminants [40 ]. Generally, two typical surfaces are being examined: surfaces based on certain hydrophilic polymers that can resist microbial adhesion owing to their ability to form a hydration layer [41] and surfaces with low-surface-energy (hydrophobicity or superhydrophobicity) that can repel bio-contaminants [42].…”

Modern society is suffering from many infectious microbes. Developing antimicrobial surfaces for biomedical decontamination and sterilization is one of the strategic solutions to mitigate the spread of infectious pathogens. Here, we outline the paradigm of plasmas for biomedical decontamination by presenting approaches of plasmaengineered antimicrobial surfaces and novel plasma-active antimicrobial surfaces. Low-temperature plasma can not only be used as a material fabrication tool for antimicrobial surface engineering but also be used directly for microbial inactivation by specially designed plasma-active surfaces that can effectively destroy microorganisms through exposure to plasma. The role of plasmas in the two different kinds of antimicrobial surfaces is discussed along with their associated advantages and disadvantages. Future research directions, challenges, and opportunities in both plasma-based antimicrobial surfaces are also critically evaluated. This analysis contributes to the development of next-generation antimicrobial surfaces for future bio-safety.

“…Surface hydrophilization has been widely used as a new paradigm to minimize microorganism colonization in recent years. Surface hydration layers induced by hydrophilic polymers could give anti-biofouling properties to surfaces because a layer of tightly bound water acts as an energetic and physical barrier to biofouling processes such as protein attachment, initial bacterial attachment, and subsequent biofilm formation [25].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the need for antimicrobial surfaces, especially those used in a healthcare environment. Textiles are the most difficult surfaces to modify since their typical use is in direct human body contact and, consequently, some aspects need to be improved, such as wear time and filtration efficiency, antibacterial and anti-viral capacity, or hydrophobicity. To this end, several techniques can be used for the surface modification of tissues, being magnetron sputtering (MS) one of [hose that have been growing in the last years to meet the antimicrobial objective. The current state of the art available on textile functionalisation techniques, the improvements obtained by using MS, and the potential of diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings on fabrics for medical applications will be discussed in this review in order to contribute to a higher knowledge of functionalized textiles themes.
