Abstract

Formation of coatings with combined properties of being superhydrophilic / superhydrophobic is of immense applications in the field of optics. In our present work, we developed a hydrophilic, antifogging, transparent, and stable coating by employing an anionic electrolyte, Tiron and dip-coating of organic-inorganic mixture. One of the attempts was to adhere Tiron on metal oxide surface by chelating effect, and the other one was to apply an organicinorganic coating on glass or lens substrate. The latter was formulated by mixing appropriate ratios of organic silanol coupling agents and diacrylates component for strong adhesion to the substrate, and inorganic component of a hybrid mixture of silica, titania and Tiron for the antifogging behavior. The surface chemistry of the coated films was studied by taking ATR-IR measurements, and the wetting behavior was characterised by contact angle measurement
