Condensation frost is one of the most common types of icing encountered in nature and
industrial applications, while its accretion induces multiple non-negligible negative impacts …

The hemiwicking state has attracted much interest because of numerous important potential
applications in inking, printing, boiling heat transfer, and condensation. However, the …

Superhydrophobic state on natural materials and synthesized surfaces has been exploited
in a broad range of technologies including thermal management, water harvesting, anti …

Understanding the dynamics of water droplets impacting upon a solid surface is of
importance from both fundamental and practical standpoints. While the impact dynamics of a …

Icing/snowing/frosting is ubiquitous in nature and industrial processes, and the accretion of
ice mostly leads to catastrophic consequences. The existing understanding of icing is still …

Boiling a volatile droplet in non-volatile liquid is complex because of various interface
interactions in a solid–liquid–liquid system. Previous studies have reported explosive boiling …

Through-thickness stitching, in the form of tufting, has been shown to be a potentially
successful method of improving resistance to delamination. Tufting is a single-sided stitching …

A number of criteria for the property requirements of a through-thickness reinforcement
tufting yarn were established. Using these criteria, 23 different polymer yarns were produced …

Understanding the dynamics in the deposition of water droplets onto solid surfaces is of
importance from both fundamental and practical viewpoints. While the deposition of a water …

Frost on a solid surface spreads essentially via building up ice bridges between condensed
droplets. Modulation of condensate droplet distributions by inducing morphological patterns …
