Abstract:The development of new materials for antifreezing and anti‐icing applications is a big challenge in industry and academic area. Inspired by the antifreeze proteins, latex particles with superhydrophilic zwitterionic shells and superhydrophobic cores are synthesized by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer emulsion polymerization, and the applications of the latex particles in antifreezing and anti‐icing applications are investigated. In antifreezing study, the critical aggregate temperature (CAT) of… Show more
