Anti-icing coating is one of the recent hot topics in industrial applications as well as from the
academic viewpoint. Icing is one of the major problem on various substrates such as glass …

The icing on overhead transmission lines is one of the largest threats to the safe operation of
electric power systems. Compared with other security accidents in the electric industry, a …

Ice formation and accretion affect residential and commercial activities. Icephobic coatings
decrease the ice adhesion strength (τice) to less than 100 kPa. However, rare icephobic …

Hypothesis Impacting on a superhydrophobic surface, water droplet spreads to a pancake
shape and then retracts and bounces off. Although the collision time is mostly in the order of …

This study reports an environment-friendly waterborne hydrophobic bioepoxy coating
(WHBC), prepared by introducing dual-scale SiO2 nanoparticles and (3-glycidyloxypropyl) …

Icing disaster is one of the most serious threats to power grid security in China. This article
provides a brief glance of current China's monitoring and prevention methods of icing …

Superhydrophobic (SHPB) materials have attracted a lot of attention in civil engineering due
to their unique wettability in recent years. The SHPB characteristics pave up a new way for …

Hypothesis Alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) is frequently used in paper industry as an inexpensive
sizing agent. The formation of a porous structure after curing the solidified AKD for an extra …

A facile synthesis method for highly stable carbon nanoparticle (CNP) dispersion in acetone
by incomplete combustion of paraffin candle flame is presented. The synthesized CNP …

In the present study, a comprehensive experimental study was conducted to quantify the
dynamic ice accretion process on aero-engine inlet guide vanes (IGVs) and to characterize …
