Here, the global performance of a hybrid octyl-modified silica coating on aluminium was studied during saturated vapour condensation, in terms of thermal efficiency and durability. The coating successfully promoted dropwise condensation with heat transfer coefficients of ∼90 kW m<sup>−2</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>, an average 9-fold increase with respect to filmwise condensation under similar heat flux conditions. Straightforward and reproducible tests were employed to separately evaluate the different factors influencing the coating's degradation, attempting to reproduce the conditions present in the apparatus used for the condensation experiments. The developed tests could successfully provide a rapid estimation of the coating's durability during a broad range of liquid-vapour phase change applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids: X","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45846042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key results include the increase of network connectivity towards the anode after poling, with NC varying from 2.24 before poling to 2.37 at the anode after poling. SHG measurements showed the presence of an optically-inactive layer of 1.0 μm thick below the anode, followed by an optically-active layer where the SHG signal is maximized from about 1.5 to 4.0 μm. In this layer the NC takes intermediate values and reflects modest changes with respect to the pristine bioglass.
