Liquid Freezing Dynamics on Hydrophobic and Superhydrophobic Surfaces

False color environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) images of water freezing on smooth (θe ≈ 120°) and nanostructured (l ~ 50 nm, θe ≈ 170 - 180°) hydrophobic surfaces are presented. To obtain the freezing dynamics of water droplets, the vapor pressure in the ESEM chamber was set to 800 Pa...
