Condensation on superhydrophobic copper oxide nanostructures (2012, background): “This feature of the nanostructure geometry promotes the formation of partially-wetting droplet morphologies, which are essential to minimizing individual droplet thermal resistance, [4, 21] since Gibb’s criterion can be satisfied [22, 23].”
Design of anti-icing surfaces: smooth, textured or slippery? (2016, neutral): “…who have reported nucleation delay on SHS generally attribute this property to the insulating effect of the air pockets situated between the topographical features of SHS, reduced solid–liquid contact area, and an increased free-energy barrier to heterogeneous nucleation on SHS 57–59, 62, 63, 80 .”
A survey of icephobic coatings and their potential use in a hybrid coating/active ice protection system for aerospace applications (2019, background): “PDMS coatings with nano silica particles of less than 100 nm in diameter were observed to exhibit superior ability in shedding water droplets, instead of allowing droplets to freeze upon impacting the surface [57], due to a high water contact angle of near 161° along with a low water roll off angle.”
