Ice‐Bridging Frustration by Self‐Ejection of Single Droplets Results in Superior Anti‐Frosting Surfaces (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 10/2024)
Source abstract
Abstract
Self-Ejection-Induced Anti-Frosting The cover image of article 2300759 by Nicolò G. Di Novo, Alvise Bagolini, and Nicola M. Pugno displays ice crystals on the tested surfaces, with the remnants of dewdrops at the center, now nearly completely evaporated and desublimated onto the crystals. The low surface coverage of frost arises from the fact that the ice-bridging phenomenon is entirely frustrated by the self-ejection of individual dewdrops, enabled by surface microcones. The self-ejection is schematically depicted in the bottom right. The cover image was designed by Nicolò G. Di Novo.
