Role of Molecular Water Layer State on Freezing Front Propagation Rate and Mode Studied with Thermal Imaging.

These two modes (III and IV) are observed only for the most hydrophilic samples (samples A and B with WCAs below 40°) at the highest RHs (50% and 70%). In general, a clear trend from a fractal frontline with a slow propagation rate to a continuous frontline with a fast propagation rate is observed when the RH and the hydrophilic nature of the surface increase.
