Abstract: The invention consists of three parts made to work together to ensure safe, fast and effective deployment to the end users of lasting anti-fog coatings in wet or dry form. End users include but are not limited to surgeons and doctors in emergency and operating rooms, occupational hazards equipment goggles, visors and shields, defensive protective armors and high impact vision wear, high performance athletic equipment, and avionics surfaces. The three parts of the invention are the anti-fog coating materials composition, their methods of preparation, processing and drying in large, medium or small scale manufacturing, and a single unit delivery device with the coating materials to apply on any existing surface, lens, scope, tools or dials, as a wet or quickly drying coating.

Abstract: Substrates may be bonded according to a method comprising contacting a first bonding surface of a first substrate with a second bonding surface of a second substrate to form an assembly, and compressing the assembly in the presence of an oxidizing atmosphere under suitable conditions to form a bonding layer between the first and second surfaces, wherein the first bonding surface comprises a polarized surface layer; the second bonding surface comprises a hydrophilic surface layer; the first and second bonding surfaces are different.

Abstract: Compositions are disclosed containing a solvated viscoelastic polymeric gel diluted into purified water which can be usefully applied to any surface, including a hydrophobic surface, to act, for example, as an antifogging coating with minimal optical distortion and excellent transparency. Also provided are methods of making and applying the compositions to surfaces such as window shields, mirrors, goggles, and helmets as well as methods of producing a fog-free surface by nano-etching the surface.
