Abstract
Fog formation on transparent windows compromises the visual clarity of these surfaces and brings hidden safety dangers, which underscores the importance of research into antifogging coatings. In recent years, biomimetic superwetting coatings have garnered significant attention as a key technology for addressing fogging issues. This review outlines the latest advancements in the design and fabrication of superwetting antifogging materials. Initially, the antifogging mechanism of superwetting surfaces was introduced briefly. Subsequently, contemporary developments in superhydrophobic antifogging surfaces inspired by organisms and superhydrophilic antifogging coatings with a variety of material systems have been emphatically discussed. The amphiphilic and heat-assisted antifogging surfaces, including photothermal and electrothermal surfaces, were also overviewed. Finally, a summary and future perspective on antifogging coating from its functionality, durability, and availability were discussed.
期刊介绍：
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
