Characterization of Titanium Alkoxide- Based Sol-Gel Systems and their Behavior in Icephobic Coatings
New coatings have been developed that display resistance to the nucleation and adhesion of ice and are therefore termed 'icephobic'. These coatings are comprised of sub-micron sized phase domains of a hydrophobic matrix and a multi-component melt-point depressant. The melt-point depresssant complex …

On the Physics of Ice Nucleation and Growth in Nanoscale
Fundamental understanding of ice formation on a surface, i.e. heterogeneous formation, is critical to suppress ice accretion on the surfaces. Ice formation on a surface includes two steps of ice nucleation and further ice growth. As water droplet is placed on a sub-zero surface, with a time delay, …
