Compositions for good antifogging and mar‐resistant coatings were investigated. A mixture of hydrolyzed aminoalkylalkoxysilane and hydrophilic vinyl monomer was the best combination. Control of suitable viscosity for coating was carried out conveniently by irradiation. The prepolymer was coated and cured by heating to form an antifogging membrane on various base materials such as inorganic glass, CR‐39 resin, and poly(methyl methacrylate). These conditions were studied in relation to some physical properties of the membrane. It was found that antifogging and mar‐resistant properties were inconsistent in many cases. A possible way to achieve the best balance between the two properties is discussed.
