Using #confocal traction force microscopy, we investigate the #ice adhesion on soft #elastomeric materials at unprecedented microscopic detail during the ice removal at different ice removal rates. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Issue 4 of Materials Horizons is out, don't miss the inside back feature: Microscale investigation on interfacial slippage and detachment of ice from soft materials by M. Schutzius, Dimos Poulikakos et al. 🔗 ow.ly/zC2P50IU9fl

Many surfaces can induce dropwise #condensation and enhance heat transfer. Hardly any though can survive under harsh conditions the test of time. In our recent work, we seek an answer on what is the best #MaterialDesign strategy for #condensation and explore its limits.

Present your research to our MRS Fall #F23MRS symposium EL06- Metamaterials Innovation in Photonics, Acoutsics, Fluidics and Thermal Sciences. Deadline is June 13. Please retweet and share with the community! mrs.org/meetings-event…
