Anti-icing superhydrophobic coatings.
We use nanoparticle-polymer composites to demonstrate the anti-icing capability of superhydrophobic surfaces and report direct experimental evidence that such surfaces are able to prevent ice formation upon impact of supercooled water both in laboratory conditions and in natural environments. We find that the anti-icing capability of these composites depends not only on their superhydrophobicit...
متن کاملSuperhydrophobic and Anti-icing Coatings on Aluminium Alloy Surfaces
A superhydrophobic and anti-icing surface was prepared by consecutive immersion in boiling water and sputtering of polytetrafluoroethylene on the surface of an aluminium alloy substrate. The immersion time in boiling water plays an important role on the surface morphology and water repellency of the deposited RF-sputtered Teflon coating. The Teflon-like coating deposited on a rough surface achi...
متن کاملSelf‐Replenishable Anti‐Waxing Organogel Materials†
Solid deposition, such as the formation of ice on outdoor facilities, the deposition of scale in water reservoirs, the sedimentation of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) in sewer systems, and the precipitation of wax in petroleum pipelines, cause a serious waste of resources and irreversible environmental pollution. Inspired by fish and pitcher plants, we present a self-replenishable organogel materia...
متن کاملDe-icing/Anti-icing Techniques for Power Lines: Current Methods and Future Direction
Atmospheric icing may be problematic for many industries, including electric utilities. The combination of wind and ice could cause damages, sometimes leading to power outages. The January 1998 ice storm has led to the development of several de-icing methods destined to overhead power lines. These techniques are the subject of several technical reports and publications. Furthermore, in the past...
متن کاملThe Search for Durable Exterior Clear Coatings for Wood
The goal of a durable exterior clear coating has eluded generations of coatings technologists, despite long-standing desire amongst the public for such a coating. The journey towards this goal initially focused on modifications to coating formulation, but took a completely different direction when it was found that a UV-transparent silicone clear coating on wood modified with chromic acid met c...
