Bio-Inspired Strategies for Anti-Icing
ACS Nano, 2014Undesired ice accumulation leads to severe economic issues and, in some cases, loss of lives. Although research on anti-icing has been carried out for decades, environmentally harmless, economical, and efficient strategies for anti-icing remain to be developed.

Anti-Icing Superhydrophobic Coatings
Langmuir, 2009We use nanoparticle-polymer composites to demonstrate the anti-icing capability of superhydrophobic surfaces and report direct experimental evidence that such surfaces are able to prevent ice formation upon impact of supercooled water both in laboratory conditions and in natural environments.

Icephobic/Anti-Icing Properties of Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2022In the winter, icing on solid surfaces is a typical occurrence that may create a slew of hassles and even tragedies. Anti-icing surfaces are one of the effective solutions for this kind of problem. The roughness of a superhydrophobic surface traps air and weakens the contact between the solid surface and liquid water, allowing water droplets to be ...

Fundamentals of Anti-Icing Surfaces
2017Icing on structures represents a safety risk and has a significant economic impact on operational costs in areas such as aeronautics, power systems, marine vessels and platforms, and civil infrastructures. Non-wetting surfaces, because of their capability to repel water and to promote water drop mobility, have attracted increasing attention for their ...

Electrical anti-icing of aircraft windshields
Electrical Engineering, 1946PREVENTION of ice formation on the aircraft windshield presents difficult problems. In addition to optical quality, the thermal and structural characteristics of suitable transparent materials, such as glass and certain plastics, must be given careful consideration.

Characterization method of hydrophobic anti-icing coatings
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2015For anti-icing, supercooled water should be removed before frozen onto the contact surface. We use a hydrophobic coating for anti-icing and introduce the static- and dynamic-evaluation methods. The methods describe the contact surface between the hydrophobic surface and a supercooled-water droplet.
