Design of anti-icing coatings using supercooled droplets as nano-to-microscale probes

A multiscale simulation-based approach is presented for predicting anti-icing properties of nanocomposite coatings. Development of robust anti-icing coatings is a challenging task. An anti-icing coating that can prevent in-flight icing is of particular interest to the aircraft industry. A multiscale simulations based approach is developed to provide insights into the complex effect of coating material and surface topology on the prevention of in-flight icing. Chemical properties of different coatings and kinetics of icing or inhibition of ice nucleation are calculated from nanoscale atomistic simulations. In addition, in-flight icing environments including impingement and rolling of supercooled microdroplet and nucleation of ice under wind shear have been implemented using fluid dynamics methodologies. A model for icing in nano-to-microscale for surfaces with known chemical composition and surface topology is used for developing predictive capabilities regarding anti-icing performance of potential coatings. In this work, fluorinated polyhedral oligomericsilsesquioxanes molecules have been used to increase nanoscale roughness when embedded in a polycarbonate polymeric matrix. The findings suggest that a successful anti-icing coating will require precise control over nanoscale and microscale roughness. The multiscale methodology presented therefore can potentially help in identifying coupled effects of material, surface topology, and icing environment for promising coatings before performing icing tunnel experiments.     

Facile designing a superhydrophobic anti-icing surface applied for reliable long-term deicing

While superhydrophobic coatings have shown promise as potential anti-icing coatings, the surface roughness of these coatings is prone to damage during repeated icing-deicing cycles. Herein, two kinds of superhydrophobic anti-icing coatings are prepared from organic resin and micro-nano particles using two strategies, and their excellent anti-icing properties are also investigated. However, superhydrophobic surface I (SF1), prepared by first strategy, cannot be used for extended periods of time due to irreversible damage to the surface roughness during the icing–deicing process. Finite element simulations and experimental studies are preformed to investigate the fatal issue of such roughness damage. In contrast, the anti-icing properties of superhydrophobic surface II (SF2), prepared by second strategy, can easily regain through a simple sandpaper abrasion treatment even the surface roughness was damaged during the icing–deicing process. These exploratory results and SF2 preparation strategy provide a facile design of anti-icing coating, and the derived restorable anti-icing coating is expected to be useful for a wide application.     

类液体动态界面材料：近期应用进展

类液体表面是接枝了高度柔性分子刷从而表现出类液体特性的表面。典型的类液体表面一般通过在平坦固体表面上共价接枝具有极低玻璃化转变温度的聚合物分子刷（其玻璃化转变温度一般在零下100 ℃以下）制备而成。由于所接枝分子链具有类似流体的高度动态特性,能自由旋转与运动,各种极性或非极性液体在这类被称为“类液体”或“准液体”的表面上粘附力低,易滑落,表现出极低的接触角滞后。传统上,对这类表面的研究主要限于简单的疏水及疏油应用。最近几年,国内外课题组相继报道了关于类液体表面的一些非常独特的界面物理化学特性;对其功能和应用的研究,也从简单的疏水、疏油,拓展到微观无损输运、防垢、除冰、冷凝传热和高性能膜分离等领域。基于类液体表面功能化的类液体动态界面材料也因而成为一类具有广阔应用前景的新兴材料体系。本文将在介绍类液体表面概念的基础上,重点介绍类液体动态界面材料最新的功能和应用研究成果,并对其未来研究和应用空间进行展望。     

Condensation and freezing of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces

Superhydrophobic coatings are reported as promising candidates for anti-icing applications. Various studies have shown that as well as having ultra water repellency the surfaces have reduced ice adhesion and can delay water freezing. However, the structure or texture (roughness) of the superhydrophobic surface is subject to degradation during the thermocycling or wetting process. This degradation can impair the superhydrophobicity and the icephobicity of those coatings. In this review, a brief overview of the process of droplet freezing on superhydrophobic coatings is presented with respect to their potential in anti-icing applications. To support this discussion, new data is presented about the condensation of water onto physically decorated substrates, and the associated freezing process which impacts on the freezing of macroscopic droplets on the surface.

Synthesis of biocompatible hydrophobic silica-gelatin nano-hybrid by sol-gel process

Silica-biopolymer hybrid has been synthesised using colloidal silica as the precursor for silica and gelatin as the biopolymer counterpart. The surface modification of the hybrid material has been done with methyltrimethoxysilane leading to the formation of biocompatible hydrophobic silica-gelatin hybrid. Here we are reporting hydrophobic silica-gelatin hybrid and coating precursor for the first time. The hybrid gel has been evaluated for chemical modification, thermal degradation, hydrophobicity, particle size, transparency under the UV-visible region and morphology. FTIR spectroscopy has been used to verify the presence of CH(3) groups which introduce hydrophobicity to the SiO2-MTMS-gelatin hybrids. The hydrophobic property has also been tailored by varying the concentration of methyltrimethoxysilane. Contact angle by Wilhelmy plate method of transparent hydrophobic silica-gelatin coatings has been found to be as high as approximately 95 degrees . Oxidation of the organic group which induces the hydrophobic character occurs at 530 degrees C which indicates that the surface hydrophobicity is retained up to that temperature. Optical transmittance of SiO2-MTMS-gelatin hybrid coatings on glass substrates has been found to be close to 100% which will enable the hybrid for possible optical applications and also for preparation of transparent biocompatible hydrophobic coatings on biological substrates such as leather.     

A study on superhydrophobic coating in anti-icing of glass/porcelain insulator

This paper focuses on the preparation of a superhydrophobic coating on glass/porcelain insulators which possess anti-icing property below freezing temperature. Inspired by lotus-effect, the fabrication of a superhydrophobic coating has two steps: the first step is to construct a hierarchical SiO₂ coating on the substrate surface, and the second step is the chemical modification of the SiO₂ coating with 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PDTS). The precursor for the hierarchical SiO₂ coating is a suspension of SiO₂ sol particles and dispersible SiO₂ powder particles. According to the TEM testing, SiO₂ sol particles prepared by sol–gel method has an average particle size about 2–5 nm, while the size of the dispersible SiO₂ particles is ca. 20 nm. The precursor was sprayed on glass/porcelain insulators, and then dried at ambient condition, finally heat-treated at 773 K for 2 h. The morphology of the superhydrophobic coating was characterized by TEM and AFM, and experimental results indicated that the coating featured [hierarchical structure consisting of both large bumps with micron-sized height (0.8 μm) and tiny papillae with the size about 30 nm] micron-sized roughness (0.8 μm) combined with nano-sized roughness (about 2 nm). Moreover, the scratch test showed that the coating tightly adhered to the surface of the glass/porcelain insulators. The superhydrophobic property of the coating was examined by a contact angle measurement, and the results demonstrated that the static water contact angle is high up to 163.6°, and the sliding angle is 1.4°. The superhydrophobic property of the coating was also confirmed by the outdoor tests in winter, and it was found that the superhydrophobic coating had the function in anti-icing, based on which the anti-icing mechanism underlying was discussed in terms of the interaction between impacting droplets and superhydrophobic surface.
