Effect of wettability and surface roughness on ice-adhesion strength of hydrophilic, hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces

Nano-micro structured superhydrophobic zinc coating on steel for prevention of corrosion and ice adhesion

“…It was observed that the ice adhesion had an inverse relation with the water contact angle. Several reports are found in the literature on the studies of ice adhesion on surfaces [47] including superhydrophobic surfaces [3], [13], [17], [20], [21], [33], [48], [49], [50] and [51]. However, the adhesion of ice with the surface is not well understood.…”

The icephobic performance of alkyl-grafted aluminum surfaces

“…The design and use of surfaces/coatings with minimum ice adherence and reduced ice accumulation is still actively considered as the most appealing and universal approach to the problem [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Most of the existing studies on anti-ice surfaces are focused on the reduction of ice adhesion strength [1,[5][6][7][8]10,[19][20][21][22][23][24] or delayed ice nucleation/formation [3,9,12,13,23,25,26]. Therefore lately the research in this area has been chiefly focused on the use and development of superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) for preventing ice formation and accumulation [4,[9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]…”

Effects of TiO₂/SiO₂ Reinforced Nanoparticles on the Mechanical Properties of Green Hybrid Coating

“…In addition, the contact angle change by adding the TiO 2 particles is less than that of SiO 2 . It is well known that the silica particles increase the hydrophobic properties of coatings due to increase the surface roughness of the coating [19], however, titanium particles increase bonding within the sol gel matrix and so increase homogeneity which reflected in increasing the hydrophobic properties of coatings [20]. These properties would affect the adhesion of coating on the metal substrates as shown in the next section.…”
