Fogmaterials
Fogmaterials is a field focused on materials engineered to interact with atmospheric fog and fog-based processes. It covers substances and structures that harvest water from fog, suppress fogging on optical and display surfaces, and enable controlled fog production for visual effects. The term is used in environmental engineering, materials science, and industrial design to describe a class of functional materials rather than a single material.
Fog harvesting materials are designed to collect and condense water droplets from fog. Typical implementations use
Anti-fog materials and coatings aim to prevent droplet formation on lenses, screens, and glass surfaces by promoting
Fog generation materials relate to fluids and devices used to produce artificial fog in theatres, film, and
Research in fogmaterials spans modeling of condensation on microstructured surfaces, scalable fog harvesting in low-resource settings,
