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...
