Journal ArticleDOI
Design of anti-icing surfaces: smooth, textured or slippery?
TL;DR: Different strategies to achieve ice repellency on various hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces are reviewed with a focus on the recent development of superhydrophobic and lubricant-infused surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-inspired strategies for anti-icing.
TL;DR: Effectively trapping air in surface textures of superhydrophobic surfaces weakens the interaction of the surfaces with liquid water, which enables timely removal of impacting and condensed water droplets before freezing occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in the potential applications of bioinspired superhydrophobic materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review gives an overview of recent advances in the potential applications of superhydrophobic materials, which are characterized by extremely high water contact angles and various adhesion properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed frost growth on jumping-drop superhydrophobic surfaces.
TL;DR: It is reported that subcooled condensate on a chilled superhydrophobic surface are able to repeatedly jump off the surface before heterogeneous ice nucleation occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust Anti-Icing Performance of a Flexible Superhydrophobic Surface
TL;DR: A material with superhydrophobic and anti-ice/de-icing properties, which has a micro-/nanostructured surface, is produced by a straightforward method and shows excellent water and ice repellency even at low temperatures and relatively high humidity for over three months.

Anti-icing superhydrophobic coatings
TL;DR: N nanoparticle-polymer composites are used to demonstrate the anti-icing capability of superhydrophobic surfaces and report direct experimental evidence that such surfaces are able to prevent ice formation upon impact of supercooled water both in laboratory conditions and in natural environments.

Effects of the Surface Roughness on Sliding Angles of Water Droplets on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between sliding angles and contact angles on superhydrophobic surfaces with roughness was investigated and an equation was derived to describe the relationship of sliding angle and contact angle.
