Frozen oil sands adhere to the walls of mining fleets in winter, which is an undesirable
phenomenon that reduces the delivery capacity of vehicles and wastes fuel for in-land …

Oil sands adhered on truck bed reduce transport capacity of the truck, require manual
cleaning, and create hurdles for automated surface mining. Study on the adhesion …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of surface roughness and surface energy on
ice adhesion strength. Sandblasting technique was used to prepare samples with high …

Surfaces with low ice adhesion represent a promising strategy to achieve passive anti-icing
performance. However, as a successful and robust low ice adhesion surface must be tested …

Ice adhesion plays an important role in the operation of technical structures and equipment
in the open atmosphere, where the accumulation of aqueous precipitates may threaten the …

Ice accretion has detrimental effects on a wide range of sensitive engineering structures,
especially those adjacent to or within the ocean. Here the effect of salinity on the adhesion of …

The phenomenon of icing, and the derived processes for its mitigation, are of great
importance in many applications, ranging from transportation and energy to food and …

Adhesion of droplets to solid surfaces at low temperatures is crucial for antifogging and
antifreezing, etc. So far, most reports on adhesion measurements have been carried out in …

Understanding the ice adhesion mechanism is vital for efficient anti-icing. However, previous
studies focused on the adhesion of already sintered ice-solid contacts. Here, we study the …

Ice adhesion plays a crucial role in the performance of materials under outdoor conditions,
where the mitigation of snow and ice accumulation or spontaneous shedding of solid water …
