Anti-fog coatings and related articles, compositions, and methods are generally described. In some embodiments, an article may comprise a dual functional anti-fog and anti-fouling coating. The coating may be stimuli-responsive and the surface energy, and accordingly wettability, of the coating may reversibly change upon exposure to certain conditions. For instance, upon exposure to water, the coating may have a relatively high surface energy that allows water to wet the coating. Conversely, exposure to an oil may cause the coating to have a relatively low surface energy that repels the oil. In some embodiments, such a stimuli responsive coating may comprise a cross-linked polymer network with covalently attached oleophobic groups.
