Abstract: Coating compositions are provided that eject droplets of condensed fluid from a surface. The coatings include a nanostructured coating layer and in some embodiments, also include a hydrophobic layer deposited thereon. The coating materials eject droplets from the surface in the presence of non-condensing gases such as air and may be deployed under conditions of supersaturation of the condensed fluid to be ejected. A heat exchanger design utilizing the coating is described herein.

Abstract: Modified surfaces and methods of use thereof are provided for preventing or delaying onset of phase changes, such as condensation or frost formation. The invention relates to surfaces that increase the energy barrier to or driving force required for nucleation phase changes, such as, but not limited to, condensation and crystallization, and methods of use thereof, such as anti-fog glass applications and prevention of condensation on heat exchangers in systems that only require sensible cooling.
