Supercooled condensation droplets sliding on frost: Origin and anti-frosting effect observed on Cotinus coggygria leaf. [PDF]
iScienceFascinated by the purple color, water-repellent, and self-cleaning properties of Cotinus coggygria Scop. leaves, we studied their morphology, wetting, and condensation frosting. Wax nanotubules confer high contact angles, enabling coalescence-induced condensation droplet (out-of-plane) jumping, which, as known, contributes to slowing down frost ...
