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. |
