Ice accumulation on solid surfaces can incur irretrievable losses and catastrophic affairs in
daily life. These issues can be addressed and strategically alleviated by adopting effective …

Engineering icephobic coatings has been a long standing effort to address the challenges
caused by ice formation and accumulation in our daily lives and in several industrial …

The freezing process of supercooled water droplets on cold plates is studied experimentally
and numerically. A numerical model that considers both the supercooling effect on the …

We describe a simple method for fabricating superhydrophobic high temperature vulcanized
(HTV) silicone rubber surfaces by direct replication using a compression molding system …

In the present study, we report for the first time the detailed dynamic motions of a water
droplet impacting on an ice surface. Besides, the effects of the initial height of the water …

Freezing phenomena of water droplets on metal surfaces widely exist in nature and industry.
While the freezing of a sessile water droplet has been extensively studied, here we report an …

Water droplet freezing phenomena widely exist in the fields of aerospace, power,
meteorology and refrigeration. In this research, the freezing and melting processes of a …

The fundamental understanding of the icephobic performance of two model
superhydrophobic surfaces (lotus and petal surfaces) is important for many industrial …

The solidification process of water (liquid) can cause an intricate deformation of its
structures, from the complex of ice crystals to dendritic frost crystal growth. The dissolved gas …

Porous polyimide (PI) materials containing lubricating oil have been widely used as bearing
retainers in aerospace industry. High oil content and retention of porous bearing materials …
