Abstract

Fog formation on transparent surfaces due to the condensation of water droplets significantly impairs visibility and functionality in applications ranging from optical devices to automotive glazing. Hydrophilic anti-fogging coatings, which function by spreading condensed water into a uniform film, have gained considerable attention because of their passive, energy-free operation. Polymer-based systems offer significant advantages in terms of processability, tunability, durability, and compatibility with various substrates. This review summarizes recent advances in hydrophilic polymeric antifogging materials, with a focus on surface modification strategies, durability enhancement through chemical crosslinking and hybridization, and the integration of additional functionalities, such as self-healing, antibacterial activity, and solar modulation. Challenges related to long-term stability, environmental resistance, and scalability are also addressed. Finally, future research directions for the development of multifunctional, robust, and sustainable antifogging systems are proposed.

防雾用亲水性高分子涂料的研究进展

在从光学器件到汽车玻璃的应用中，由于水滴的凝结而在透明表面形成的雾严重损害了可视性和功能。亲水防雾涂料，其功能是将冷凝水扩散成均匀的薄膜，由于其被动，无能量的操作而受到相当大的关注。聚合物基系统在可加工性、可调性、耐久性和与各种基材的兼容性方面具有显著的优势。本文综述了亲水聚合物防雾材料的最新进展，重点是表面改性策略，通过化学交联和杂交增强耐久性，以及集成其他功能，如自愈，抗菌活性和太阳调节。还解决了与长期稳定性、环境阻力和可扩展性相关的挑战。最后，展望了多功能、鲁棒性和可持续性防雾系统的发展方向。

期刊介绍： The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as: • Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials • Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials • Performance, testing and analysis.
