Exploiting Topographical Texture To Impart Icephobicity
Open accessAbstract
Appropriately structured topographical features that are found in nature (e.g,, the lotus leaf) or that are produced synthetically (e.g., via lithography) can impart superhydrophobic properties to surfaces. Water beads up and readily rolls off of such surfaces, making them self-cleaning. Within the past few years, scientists and engineers have begun exploring the utility of these surfaces in mitigating the icing problem prevalent in the operation of critical infrastructure such as airplanes, ships, power lines, and telecommunications equipment. An article in this issue advances our fundamental knowledge in this area by examining the dynamic impact of water droplets on both smooth and topographically structured supercooled substrates. The results illustrate that, under at least some environmental conditions, superhydrophobic surfaces can minimize or even eliminate ice formation by repelling impinging water drops before they can freeze. Subsequent research will build on these results, possibly leading to the fabrication of commercially viable and durable icephobic surfaces that mitigate the icing problem under all environmental conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
