A study on the functionalisation of transparent anti-icing surface: A new approach

Abstract

In this study, the author presented a novel approach to manufacture a transparent anti-icing surface through Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) method on the glass substrate. Tested anti-icing parameters include: adhesive strength and freezing time on samples with different wettability, including as-received (untreated), superhydrophilic, hydrophilic, non-hydrophobic, and superhydrophobic...
