Insulators, as important components in transmission lines, are prone to disturb the safe running of the power system by the ice accumulation on surfaces. Traditional anti-icing coatings are difficult to practically apply to insulators. Here, superhydrophobic (SHP) coatings were fabricated on the glass insulator surface by spraying. We studied micro...

... In order to simulate the glaze, the water droplet bouncing tests in a glaze-freezing environment were performed in an artificial climate chamber. Figure 4 illustrates the behaviors of water droplets bouncing on both glass and SHP insulators in the glaze icing environment. Different from a single water droplet, the spray nozzle forms small water droplets, similar to rain, that are blasted on the surface as the glaze freezes. ...

In order to improve the hydrophobicity of the composite film on the wood surface, the wettability of the wood surface and its morphology, chemical structure, roughness and free energy changes were investigated in this paper after modification treatments with different volume fractions of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS...
Wettability significantly influences various surface interactions and applications at the liquid–solid interface. However, the understanding is complicated by the intricate charge exchange occurring through contact electrification (CE) during this process. The understanding of the influence of triboelectric charge on wettability remains challenging...
Ceramic membranes offer significant potential for addressing challenging and harsh wastewater streams such as produced water (PW) and surfactant-stabilized oil/water (O/W) emulsions. This study focuses on developing a stable and a uniformly structured active layer solely composed of MIL-125-NH 2 MOF on a ceramic Alumina support. A stable covalent b...
This study investigates the design of a serpentine continuous photocatalytic reactor for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye as a model contaminant of the synthetic textile wastewater under sunlight irradiation using supported zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) catalyst. ZnO NRs were fabricated on glass substrates using the microwave-assisted hyd...
Liquid water that accumulates inside GDL prevents oxygen transport and degrades the performance of PEFCs. Therefore, improving the drainage of GDL is neccesary. One factor that directly affects drainage is the wettability of GDLs. In this study, the relationship between wettability of GDL and drainage was investigated through a numerical simulation...
