报告简介:

Icing on solid surfaces leads to operational difficulties and high maintenance efforts for power networks, aircrafts, ships, ground transportation vehicles and house-hold refrigerators, to name but a few. In extreme cases, icing on surfaces causes disastrous events such as crash of aircrafts and collapse of power networks, which result in severe economic impact and large loss of life. This talk is going to discuss the fundamentals of the ice formation and strategies taken in my group in fighting against icing.

When the supercooling is low, it is possible to remove supercooled liquid water from the solid surfaces before the freezing occurs. For this consideration, we have investigated, on one hand, the effects of solid surfaces on the ice nucleation. On the other hand, we have fabricated surfaces, on which the condensed water could be spontaneously removed. When the supercooling is high, icing on solid surfaces occurs easily. In this case, we have designed icephobic coatings, which have a low ice adhesion and the ice formed atop could be removed by a wind action or its own gravity. Moreover, this talk will also discuss bioinspired anti-icing coatings, which are modified with anti-freezing proteins. Ice formation on such coatings is delayed and a possible mechanism will be proposed.
