Solar energy-based devices are protected using glass surfaces that need to be cleaned
periodically to maintain their desired optimum performance. If these devices are large and …

Bionic superhydrophobic ice-proof surfaces inspired by natural biology show great potential
in daily life. They have attracted wide research interest due to their promising and wide …

The impact of unstable supercooled water droplets suspended in the cloud on the solid will
cause its surface to freeze, and the flight safety of the aircraft will be seriously affected when …

Traditional anti-icing/de-icing systems, ie, thermal and pneumatic, in most cases require a
power consumption not always allowable in small aircraft. Therefore, the use of passive …

Evaluating the performance of icephobic coatings interests various industries, such as
aviation, maritime, energy, and transportation. Recent developments on icephobic coatings …

It is still problematic to define a direct relationship between specific properties of a
nanostructured surface (eg, wettability) and its morphology. Not surprisingly, scientists …

In this study, we assessed the effects of ice types, test parameters, and surface properties on
measurement data of the ice adhesion centrifuge test. This method is often used for the …

This work investigates the effects of process parameters on thin-film deposition by direct
liquid injection in a low-frequency dielectric barrier discharge. The precursor …

In winter, when the trains run at high speed, snow that falls on the track is easily drawn onto
the bottom of the train, and quickly forms ice. Such icing may cause serious safety issues. In …

This work examines the combination of pulsed direct‐liquid injections with dielectric barrier
discharge at atmospheric pressure for the deposition of organosilicon coatings using …
