Hydrophilic coatings are the kinds of coatings that are applied to different devices and products in order to minimize friction and also reduce the formation of any condensation on the devices so that they can be used without any problems by the consumer. Such coatings also help to make the product UV-resistant, increase its strength and improve the overall life of the product. These coatings exhibit features that attract water and are react to water and produce lubricating and wettable hydrogel material that is ideal for biological interactions. Such coating can be applied to various devices that use in industries such as medical, aerospace, automotive and many others.
