    摘要: Porous, binderless ceramic surface modification materials are described, and applications of use thereof. The ceramic surface material is in the form of an interconnected network of porous ceramic material on a substrate. The ceramic material may include a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, and/or hydrates thereof, or a metal carbonate or metal phosphate, on a substrate surface. The substrate may be in the form of a metal or polymer particulate, powder, extrudate, or flakes.

    摘要: 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.
