Corn-Flowers-Like Transparent, Anti-moth Protein and Self-Cleaning Coatings for Vehicle Windshields

Key Points

• The aim is to develop and assess coatings that prevent contamination of optical surfaces for vehicles.
• Developed transparent coatings incorporating anti-moth protein
• Evaluated coating performance against traditional polymers
• Analyzed contamination resistance using various viscoelastic foulants
• Coated surfaces exhibited significantly lower contamination rates, improving visibility
• Demonstrated longer durability compared to traditional coatings under similar conditions
• Showed potential for enhancing safety features of vehicles in adverse conditions
