Transparent polymer materials such as thermoplastic PE play an essential role in our daily life. However, due to the unavoidable condensation of water vapor on solid surfaces, these materials undergo fogging under normal operating conditions. Specially, The hydrophobic surface of PE causes poor wettability and poor adhesion in practical applications. The condensed water forms spherical droplets to minimize the contact area between the water and the film. These droplets reduce the light transmission and due to gravity will often fall down inside the greenhouse resulting in physical damage to plants as well as increasing the risk of disease. Herein, we developed facile super-hydrophilic coating by using polymer and additives. In our super-hydrophilic coating achieved high durable anti-fogging and self-cleaning properties.
