Temperature Prediction of Anti-frost Layer using Machine Learning Techniques [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation, 2020 In Korea, the temperature falls below 0 °C in winter and rises above 0 °C in spring. This change in temperature between the two seasons results in the ground alternatively freezing and thawing, which leads to road surfaces being damaged. Predicting the ground temperature becomes very important in identifying and responding to potential infrastructure ...

Plasmonic heating of protected silver nanowires for anti-frosting superhydrophobic coating
Nanotechnology, 2022 Abstract Atmospheric frosting and icing pose significant problems for critical and common-use infrastructures. Passive anti-frosting and anti-icing strategies that require no energy input have been actively sought, with no viable and permanent solutions known yet. Bioinspired superhydrophobic (SH) materials have been considered promising
