A micro/nanostructured (MN) surface induces a robust icephobic/anti‐icing property, more
than that of a nanostructured surface, and far more than that of a microstructured or smooth …

Anti-icing surface is crucial to the safety of aircraft, power line, mechanical apparatus and
other important devices, while the current superhydrophobic surfaces are facing dilemmas of …

Abstract The classic Cassie-Baxter equation has been used for decades to describe the
equilibrium contact angle of a droplet on a partially wetted, rough substrate and inspired …

A superhydrophobic coating was obtained via green electrodeposition in a deep eutectic
solvent, followed by chemical modification with stearic acid. The coating provided an …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are often recommended for anti-icing applications due to their
high ability to repel water and reduce ice accumulation and adhesion. In this study, PTFE …

Whether modified poplar can obtain a qualified or even excellent finishing effect on
European and American furniture is worthy of deep study. To evaluate whether the …

While methods for dynamic tuning of surface wettability to manipulate water droplets have
been widely explored for many applications including digital microfluidics, those based on …

Droplet dynamics on surfaces under shear flow, which affects the efficiency of water
condensate removal in condensation, are significant for investigation. The influencing …

Elastic waves traveling through polycrystalline ice Ih can experience distortion due to the
transversely isotropic structure of its crystals. This can pose a challenge to nondestructive …

Cryo-ultrasonic testing utilizes polycrystalline ice coupling to enable the inspection of
metallic components with complex shape. The relatively high velocity of compressional …
