- Abstract
- In the last few decades, numerous studies have focused on designing suitable hydrophilic materials to inhibit surface-induced fog or frost under extreme conditions. As fogging and condensation frosting on a film involves molecular interaction with water prior to forming discrete droplets on the surface, it is essential to control the extent of a film to strongly bind with water molecules for antifogging coatings. While the water contact angle measurement is commonly used to probe the hydrophilicity of a film, it oftentimes fails to predict the antifogging and antifrosting performance as this value only reflects the wettability of a given surface to water droplet. In this work, a polysaccharide-based film composed of chitosan (CHI) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is used as the model system and oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) moieties are additionally introduced to study the effect of OEG moieties on antifogging and condensation frosting. We show that the film containing OEG-grafted CHI exhibits excellent frost-resistant capability due to the OEG moieties in the film that serve as active sites for water molecules to strongly interact in a nonfreezable state.
