In the winter, icing on solid surfaces is a typical occurrence that may create a slew of hassles
and even tragedies. Anti-icing surfaces are one of the effective solutions for this kind of …

Icephobic surfaces, used as passive anti-icing materials, are in high demand due to the
costs, damage, and loss of equipment and lives related to ice formation on outdoor surfaces …

To retard the negative effects of frosting, it is necessary to better understand the frosting
mechanism on cold surfaces. In this study, a systematical study on the dynamic frosting …

Icing is one of the most fascinating phenomena occurring ubiquitously in nature and multiple
industrial applications. In spite of a century of research work on this topic, an in-depth …

Anti-propagation and enhanced icephobicity both are critical for anti-icing surfaces. In this
work, four types of functional surfaces were prepared to investigate condensation frosting …

Considering frosting process in applications usually starts along with cooling stage of the
corresponding frosting components, a systematic study on the impacts of the initial cooling …

Condensation frosting on solid surfaces is a common phenomenon in nature and industry,
and the covered frost layer is harmful to many applications, so it is necessary to take …

Freezing phenomena of water droplets on metal surfaces widely exist in nature and industry.
While the freezing of a sessile water droplet has been extensively studied, here we report an …

Numerous studies have focused on designing functional surfaces that delay frost formation
or reduce ice adhesion. However, solutions to the scientific challenges of developing …

The characteristics of frost propagation and distribution on cold plate surfaces under forced
convection conditions were studied experimentally. The influence of forced convection on …
