Carbon Nanofiber Based Films for Anti-icing/Anti-frosting Applications [PDF]
, 2014 Superhydrophobic surfaces have been increasingly researched as a solution for the icing problem. Despite promising results, superhydrophobic surfaces eventually fail under condensation and frosting.

Visualization of Patterned Modified Surfaces in Condensation and Frosting States [PDF]
Energies, 2019 In this study, a novel, thorn-shaped, containing, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic surface is proposed to have a better condensate drainage characteristic and to delay the required time for frosting. By using a hydrophilic and hydrophobic mixed thorn-shaped surface created by screen printing, the design makes use of the differences in the wettability ...

Atomistic Description of Interdroplet Ice-Bridge Formation during Condensation Frosting
Langmuir, 2022 The propagation of frost in an assembly of supercooled dew droplets takes place by the formation of ice protrusions that bridge ice particles and still-liquid droplets. In this work, we develop a Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model to study the formation kinetics of the ice protrusions.

How to Select Phase Change Materials for Tuning Condensation and Frosting?
Advanced Functional Materials, 2022 AbstractSynthetic surfaces engineered to regulate phase transitions of matter and exercise control over its undesired accrual (liquid or solid) play a pivotal role in diverse industrial applications. Over the years, the design of repellant surfaces has transitioned from solely modifying the surface texture and chemistry to identifying novel material ...
