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 …

This paper provides a comprehensive review of published literatures concerning the fluid
mechanics and heat transfer mechanisms of liquid drop impact on a heated wall. The review …

Droplet impact behaviours are widely applied in a variety of domains including self-cleaning,
painting and coating, corrosion of turbine blades and aircraft, separation and oil repellency …

A comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of droplets undergoing collisions with solid
surfaces is required in a number of technological and industrial situations. Recently, a new …

Icing of surfaces is commonplace in nature and technology, affecting everyday life and
sometimes causing catastrophic events. Understanding (and counteracting) surface icing …

Atmospheric icing has become a global concern due to hazardous consequences of ice
accretion on air, land, and sea transport and infrastructure. Icephobic surfaces due to their …

The superhydrophobic behavior of nano-and microtextured surfaces leading to rebound of
impacting droplets is of great relevance to nature and technology. It is not clear however, if …

Icephobic surfaces have a critical footprint on human daily lives ranging from aviation
systems and infrastructures to energy systems, but creation of these surfaces for low …

A robust prototypical anti-icing coating with a self-lubricating liquid water layer (SLWL) is
fabricated via grafting cross-linked hygroscopic polymers inside the micropores of silicon …

In the development of next‐generation materials with enhanced thermal properties,
biological systems in nature provide many examples that have exceptional structural …
