The sunlight-activated nanofilm putting an end to misty glasses and windows
Discover the chemistry behind the nanofilm coating technique stopping glasses and windows from fogging. The coating selectively absorbs the infrared wavelengths of sunlight and converts this energy into heat, which warms the surface to prevent condensation.
Download the story and a summary slide for secondary school learners aged 14–16 to give a new context for studying nanomaterials.
