How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Icephobic Properties?
Nanotechnology enhances icephobic properties by manipulating surface structures at the nanoscale. This manipulation creates nano-textures and nano-coatings that minimize the contact area between water droplets and the surface, reducing ice nucleation and adhesion. Techniques such as chemical vapor deposition, electrospinning, and sol-gel processes are employed to fabricate these surfaces with precision.
