title: Anti-Fogging/Self-Healing Properties of Clay-Containing Transparent Nanocomposite Thin Films.
abstract: Highly transparent antifogging films were successfully prepared on various substrates, including glass slides, silicon, copper and PMMA, by spin-coating a mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone and aminopropyl-functionalized, nanoscale clay platelets. The resulting films were superhydrophilic and showed more than 90% transmission of visible light, as well as excellent antifogging and self-healing properties.
