Abstract
The control of surface wettability through a combination of surface roughness, chemical composition, and structural modification has attracted significant attention for antifogging and antibacterial applications. Herein, a two-step spin-coating method for amphiphilic organic-inorganic hybrid materials with incorporated transition metal ions is presented. The coating solution was prepared via photochemical thiol-ene click reaction between the mercapto functional group in trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) and the vinyl functionalized silica precursor 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. In the first step of coating, a glass substrate was coated using a solution of metal nitrate hydrates and subsequently showed hydrophobic properties. As the second step, the spin-coated glass substrate was further coated with silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) and polycaprolactone triol (PCT) suspension, where the contents of SiO2 NPs were fixed at 0.1 wt %, unless otherwise noted. The coated substrate exhibited hydrophilic properties. For comparison, the coating was also formulated with the SiO2 NPs/PCT suspension without SiO2 NPs and with 0.5 wt % SiO2 NPs as well as by adjusting different coating layer thicknesses. The surface morphology and chemical compositions of the obtained coating materials were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The transparency and static contact angle of coated samples were measured by UV-visible spectrophotometry and drop shape analysis, respectively. It was concluded that our novel hybrid coating materials exhibited excellent antibacterial and antifogging properties with extremely high scratch resistance and transparency.

Abstract
Anti-biofouling materials that combat microorganism attachment have been intensively studied due to the ever-growing demand on smart and durable coatings. Although various hydrophilic polymer surfaces demonstrated superior anti-biofouling properties, their practical application was hampered by the undesired mechanical vulnerability and complicated fabrication process. In this review, we summarized the mechanically and chemically robust anti-biofouling coatings into six strategies namely (i) 3D-grafted coatings, (ii) hierarchical spheres-based coatings, (iii) inorganic nanomaterials-reinforced coatings, (iv) hydrolysis-based coating, (v) semi-interpenetrating structure-based coatings, and (vi) layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled coatings. The anti-biofouling efficacy and durability of these coatings over a series of challenges were also comprehensively presented. The purpose of this review is to inspire researchers to develop novel anti-biofouling coatings for future practical applications.

Abstract
We examine the behaviour of acrylic resin-based membranes containing natural anti-oxidants, such as Galla chinensis tea powder extract (TP) and Taiwanese green propolis (TGP), in different concentrations ranging between 5 and 20 wt %. Membrane morphology was investigated by means of Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), while the UV-curing reaction was monitored by Fourier-Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. In most cases Thermogravimetric (TG), Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) and Dynamo-mechanical Thermal (DMT) analyses showed that the desirable characteristics of the UV-cured acrylic resin are not substantially altered by the presence of the organic fillers. The release kinetics of polyphenols and flavonoids, determined in water for TP-containing membranes (ETx) and in ethanol/water mixture (7:3 v/v) for TGP-containing ones (EPx), was satisfactory, reaching a plateau after 24 h. Finally, preliminary antibacterial tests against S. epidermidis were performed on the membranes with higher additive amount and gave positive results for ET-type; on the contrary, no inhibitory effect was observed for the tested EP-type membranes.

Water drop-surface interactions as the basis for the design of anti-fogging surfaces: Theory, practice, and applications trends. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2019; 263:68-94.

Abstract
Glass- and polymer-based materials have become essential in the fabrication of a multitude of elements, including eyeglasses, automobile windshields, bathroom mirrors, greenhouses, and food packages, which unfortunately mist up under typical operating conditions. Far from being an innocuous phenomenon, the formation of minute water drops on the surface is detrimental to their optical properties (e.g., light-transmitting capability) and, in many cases, results in esthetical, hygienic, and safety concerns. In this context, it is therefore not surprising that research in the field of fog-resistant surfaces is gaining in popularity, particularly in recent years, in view of the growing number of studies focusing on this topic. This review addresses the most relevant advances released thus far on anti-fogging surfaces, with a particular focus on coating deposition, surface micro/nanostructuring, and surface functionalization. A brief explanation of how surfaces fog up and the main issues of interest linked to fogging phenomenon, including common problems, anti-fogging strategies, and wetting states are first presented. Anti-fogging mechanisms are then discussed in terms of the morphology of water drops, continuing with a description of the main fabrication techniques toward anti-fogging property. This review concludes with the current and the future perspectives on the utility of anti-fogging surfaces for several applications and some remaining challenges in this field.

Abstract
The research on a self-decontaminating surface has received significant attention because of the growth of pathogenic microorganisms on surfaces. In this study, a novel and simple technique for producing an active surface with antimicrobial functionality is demonstrated. A tethering platform was developed by grafting the biocide ampicillin (Amp) to a nanoclay and dispersing the nanoclay in a UV-curable acrylate coating applied on polypropylene films as the substrate. A coupling agent, [3-(glycidyloxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane, was used as a linker between the nanoclay and Amp. The Amp-functionalized clay was further modified with an organic surfactant to improve the compatibility with the coating. Several characterization assays, such as Fourier infrared transform analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction, were conducted to confirm the presence of Amp in the nanoclay. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the clay particles were well dispersed in the coating and had a partial exfoliated morphology. The active coating surface was effective in inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive Listeria monocytogenes and Gram-negative Salmonella Typhimurium via contact. These findings suggest the potential for the development of active surfaces with the implementation of nanotechnology to achieve diverse functionalities.
