Relationships between Water Wettability and Ice Adhesion
Adam J. Meuler,J. David Smith,Kripa K. Varanasi,Joseph M. Mabry,Gareth H. McKinley,Robert E. Cohen +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that any further appreciable reduction in ice adhesion strength will require textured surfaces, as no known materials exhibit receding water contact angles on smooth/flat surfaces that are significantly above those reported here (i.e., the values of [1 + cos θ(rec)] reported here have essentially reached a minimum for known materials).
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting topographical texture to impart icephobicity.
TL;DR: Examining the dynamic impact of water droplets on both smooth and topographically structured supercooled substrates shows 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoleophobic surfaces through control of sprayed-on stochastic topography.
Raymond Campos,Andrew J. Guenthner,Adam J. Meuler,Anish Tuteja,Robert E. Cohen,Gareth H. McKinley,Timothy S. Haddad,Joseph M. Mabry +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface topography characteristics of a sprayed-on mixture of fluoroalkyl-functional precipitated silica and a fluoropolymer binder were examined using contact and sliding angle analysis, electron microscopy, and image analysis for determination of fractal dimensionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrate-phobic surfaces: fundamental studies in clathrate hydrate adhesion reduction
J. David Smith,Adam J. Meuler,Harrison L. Bralower,Rama Venkatesan,Sivakumar Subramanian,Robert E. Cohen,Gareth H. McKinley,Kripa K. Varanasi +7 more
TL;DR: This paper presents an alternate approach of using functionalized coatings to reduce hydrate adhesion to surfaces, ideally to a low enough level that hydrodynamic shear stresses can detach deposits and prevent plug formation.
Superoleophobic Surfaces through Control of Sprayed-on Stochastic Topography (Pre-Print)
Raymond Campos,Andrew J. Guenthner,Adam J. Meuler,Timothy S. Haddad,Joseph M. Mabry,Anish Tuteja,Robert E. Cohen,Gareth H. McKinley +7 more
TL;DR: The coatings proved to be an especially useful class of liquid repellent materials due to their combination of simple and scalable deposition process, low surface energy, and the roughness characteristics of the aggregates, which interact in a unique way to prevent the buildup of binder in interstitial regions.
