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
