Design of anti-icing surfaces: smooth, textured or slippery? (2016, positive): “This phenomenon of rapid removal of merged droplets is responsible for the observed extremely small average droplet size, approximately ranging from 6–30 µ m 111,114 .”
Vapor chambers with jumping-drop liquid return from superhydrophobic condensers (2013, background): “The kinetic energy required for the jumping-drop phenomenon is harvested from the surface energy released upon coalescence [11–17], and the out-of-plane directionality is a result of the superhydrophobic surface breaking the symmetry of energy release [12,18].”
Condensation on superhydrophobic copper oxide nanostructures (2012, background): “is available for conversion into the kinetic energy for droplet jumping, provided that other dissipation mechanism do not play a significant role [5].”
Bio-inspired strategies for anti-icing. (2014, methodology): “observed an out-ofplane self-removal of coalesced water microdroplets on appropriately designed SHSs and the jumping velocity of the droplets could be as high as 1 m/s.(75) Inspired by this phenomenon, anti-icing materials were prepared by fabricating surfaces from which”
A Review of Condensation Frosting (2017, background): “This explains why for superhydrophobic surfaces exhibiting jumping-droplet condensation and low surface coverage [147], ice bridges are able to propagate across only about one third of the droplets [46], whereas for hydrophobic surfaces, bridging is”
