Kenneth Carter, polymer science, and doctoral student Yinyong Li received a $10,000 discretionary award for FogKicker, a new, patent-pending anti-fog solution made from natural materials. The major raw material, nanocellulose, can be easily made from recycled materials such as waste paper, wood, or plants, and excels at absorbing water or moisture. FogKicker is a biodegradable, non-toxic compound that can be coated on nearly any surface and, after drying, creates an invisible layer that prevents the formation of fog.
