Tailoring the Hydrophilicity for Delayed Condensation Frosting in Antifogging Coatings

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2022
In the last few decades, numerous studies have focused on designing suitable hydrophilic materials to inhibit surface-induced fog or frost under extreme conditions. As fogging and condensation frosting on a film involves molecular interaction with water prior to forming discrete droplets on the surface, it is essential to control the extent of a film ...

Inhibition of Condensation Frosting by Arrays of Hygroscopic Antifreeze Drops

Langmuir, 2015
The formation of frost and ice can have negative impacts on travel and a variety of industrial processes and is typically addressed by dispensing antifreeze substances such as salts and glycols. Despite the popularity of this anti-icing approach, some of the intricate underlying physical mechanisms are just being unraveled.

Condensation frosting and passive anti-frosting

Cell Reports Physical Science, 2021
Summary As exemplified by the extreme cold weather hitting central China and causing great economic losses in 2018, as well as the 2021 Texas power crisis involving more than 4.5 million homes and businesses in the United States owing to frosting/icing, anti-frosting/anti-icing has been a long-standing challenge in modern society.

Controlling condensation and frost growth with chemical micropatterns [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractIn-plane frost growth on chilled hydrophobic surfaces is an inter-droplet phenomenon, where frozen droplets harvest water from neighboring supercooled liquid droplets to grow ice bridges that propagate across the surface in a chain reaction. To date, no surface has been able to passively prevent the in-plane growth of ice bridges across the ...
