Title: Passive anti-frosting surface comprised of microscopic wettability patterns containing sacrificial ice

Abstract

A method and device for reducing ice and frost on a surface comprising a wettable pattern on a surface. The pattern is wetted with water which is frozen into ice to create overlapping hygroscopic that cover the surface.
