Frost formation and ice adhesion on superhydrophobic surfaces

Frost formation and ice adhesion on superhydrophobic surfaces

We study frost formation and its impact on icephobic properties of superhydrophobic surfaces. Using an environmental scanning electron microscope, we show that frost nucleation occurs indiscriminately on superhydrophobic textures without any particular spatial preference. Ice adhesion measurements o...
