Abstract: Accumulation of ice to surfaces brings dangerous and costly problems to our daily life. In this paper, an anti-ice coating inspired by ice skating is reported. Hyaluronic acid is used in the anti-ice coating to form aqueous lubricating layer benefitting from its high water absorbing property. Dopamine, the main component of the mussel adhesive protein, is introduced to anchor the hyaluronic acid to the solid surfaces to render the coating applicable to all types of solid surfaces. At the same time it serves as the crosslinking agent for hyaluronic acid, thus the thickness of the water collecting film could be easily varied. Ice adhesion strength on surfaces coated with such kind of coating could be more than one order of magnitude lower than that of uncoated ones. The results indicate that this anti-ice coating with the aqueous lubricating layer has great potential for fighting against icing problems.

Frost halos from supercooled water droplets
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that evaporation from a freezing supercooled sessile droplet generates a condensation halo around the droplet, which crystallizes and drastically affects the surface behavior, which controls frost formation and propagation.

Super-hydrophobic film retards frost formation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the process of frost formation on isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) films and found that frost formation is greatly retarded on the super-hydrophobic i-PP surface, due to the micro-and nanometre structures, which leads to the delay of the solidification of liquid water at the TPL region.
