Development of anti-fogging solution for the vision field of CBRN respirator.

Source summary

The challenge asks for a durable way to stop condensation from obscuring the plastic visor of a CBRN respirator during prolonged use. It identifies impaired vision, situational awareness and safety as the problem and presents hydrophilic or hydrophobic coatings, dual-layer visors, films, ventilation, alternative polymers, strengthened glass and aerogel layers as possible approaches rather than fixed requirements.
