Ice accretion may cause malfunction or serious performance degradation in outdoor facilities
and structures, such as aircraft, ship, locks and dams, offshore platforms, solar panels, wind …

The formation of ice particles in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects the properties of
clouds and their impact on climate. Despite the importance of ice formation in determining …

A small subset of the atmospheric aerosol population has the ability to induce ice formation
at conditions under which ice would not form without them (heterogeneous ice nucleation) …

Soot particles emitted by aircraft engines may act as ice nuclei within the atmosphere,
subsequently triggering the formation of condensation trails. Such contrails might further …

Abstract Mixed cation (Li+, Na+ and K+) and anion (F−, Cl−, Br−) complexes of the aromatic
π‐surfaces (top and bottom) are studied by using dispersion‐corrected density functional …

Thermodynamic properties of C 2 H 2 thin films adsorbed on (0001) surfaces of an exfoliated
graphite substrate have been investigated by means of volumetric adsorption isotherms …

In this thesis I present the design of hydrophobic hybrid inorganic-organic coatings via Lotus
leaf-like and Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) approaches with anti-wetting …

Quantifying the ice nucleation activity of combustion aerosols is crucial in understanding
their impact on cloud properties, and consequently, on climate. This study investigates the …

Soot resulting from combustion of kerosene in aircraft engines can act as condensation
nuclei for water/ice in the atmosphere and promote the formation of contrails that turn into …
