1. 11. Multifunctional ice and snow repellent coatings for photovoltaic modules

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

   Author : Gunnar Sandkvist; [2023]
   Keywords : sol-gel; superhydrophobic; dip-coating; anti-reflective; silica;

   Abstract : Implementation of solar power by photovoltaic modules in cold climates, such as northern Sweden, implies several challenges. Ice and snow coverage not only leads to reduction in energy production due to shading, but it also puts equipment at risk from additional weight. READ MORE

3. 12. An Investigation of How Hydrophobicity, Water, and Surface Topography Influence Macroscopic Particle Accumulation on Surfaces : A Case Study of Grass Accumulation on Robotic Lawn Mower

   University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Industriell produktutveckling, produktion och design

   Author : Rasmus Brask-Nilsen; Petter Ydrestrand; [2023]
   Keywords : Macroscopic Particles; Accumulation; Hydrophobicity; Humidity; Topology; Adhesion; Experiments; Design of Experiments; Grass; Robotic Lawn Mower;

   Abstract : This master's thesis project investigates the impact of hydrophobicity and topology on dry and wet macroscopic particle accumulation on surfaces. The report begins by outlining the challenges associated with this phenomenon and the existing theories and methods used to study it, including adhesion, surface engineering, the Lotus effect, and humidity.
