2020-747 Multi-Functional Anti-Icing Hydrogel Technique for Controlling Ice Nucleation, Growth, and Adhesion

Summary: UCLA researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering have developed an anti-icing coating that is the first to incorporate a trifold approach by lowering the ice formation temperature, making the surface difficult for ice to stick to and delaying ice crystal growth. Background: Undesired icing/frosting on various surfaces...

2011-040 Methods of Restoring and Maintaining Gas Film on Superhydrophobic Surface Underwater

SUMMARYUCLA researchers in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering have developed a method of maintaining and restoring a gas film on a superhydrophobic surface while underwater. BACKGROUNDA liquid interfaced directly with a solid creates frictional forces. For example, these frictional forces slow down a boat traveling through the water...
