“…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]…”

Theoretical models have also been developed, demonstrating how SHSs can delay ice formation from impinging water droplets [9,11,13], which is in good agreement with experimental work [3,14,25,26].…”

The icephobic performance of alkyl-grafted aluminum surfaces

et al. 2015

Abstract. The work analyzes the anti-icing performance of flat aluminum surfaces coated with widely used alkyl-group based layers of octadecyltrimethoxysilane, fluorinated alkylsilane and stearic acid as they are subjected to repeated icing/deicing cycles. The wetting properties of the samples upon long-term immersion in water are also evaluated. The results demonstrate that smooth aluminum surfaces grafted with alkyl groups are prone to gradual degradation of their hydrophobic and icephobic properties, which is caused by interaction and reactions with both ice and liquid water. This implies that alkyl-group based monolayers on aluminum surfaces are not likely to be durable icephobic coatings unless their durability in contact with ice and/or water is significantly improved.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] By observing the microstructure of a lotus leaf surface, it was found that the combination of micro papilla and a thin wax film leads to the self-cleaning properties. 4 L. Jiang et al 1 discovered that on top of the micro papilla also exist branch-like nanostructures and pointed out that the micro-and nanoscale hierarchical structures were the fundamental mechanism for lotus leaf's unique wetting properties.…”

Fabricating large-scale super-hydrophobic surfaces for commercial applications is challenging due to certain limitations. In this paper, a simple and inexpensive method is developed to fabricate super-hydrophobic surfaces on silicone rubbers. Rough microstructures were prepared on the mould's inner surfaces and then sample super-hydrophobic surfaces on silicone rubbers with different surface roughness were achieved using the standard moulding process. Furthermore, the effects of roughness on the wettability were investigated. The results showed that by controlling the roughness, the fabricated surfaces exhibited a static contact angle of 150.9°and a sliding angle of 8°. Finally, the property of hydrophobicity recovery for the silicone-rubber samples was also studied. The surfaces of the samples could recover well after a sand-blasting experiment. The proposed method is low-cost, environmentally friendly and suggests promising industrial applications. Keywords: thin films, coatings, chemical techniques, surface properties Izdelava obse`nih superhidrofobnih povr{in za komercialne namene je zaradi dolo~enih omejitev zahtevna. V~lanku je razvit preprost in poceni na~in za izdelavo superhidrofobne povr{ine na silikonskih gumah. Grobe mikrostrukture so bile pripravljene na notranjih povr{inah kalupa in nato je bila dose`ena vzor~na superhidrofobna povr{ina na silikonski gumi z razli~no hrapavo povr{ino z uporabo standardnega postopka modeliranja. Nadalje so bili raziskani u~inki hrapavosti na omo~ljivost. Rezultati so pokazali, da so s krmiljenjem hrapavosti izdelane povr{ine razstavljene pod stati~nim kontaktnim kotom 150.9°in drsnim kotom 8°. Nazadnje je bila preu~evana tudi lastnost okrevanja hidrofobnosti vzorcev silikonskih gum. Povr{ine vzorcev se lahko dobro obnovijo tudi po poskusu s peskanjem. Predlagana metoda je poceni, okolju prijazna in ka`e obetavne mo`nosti apliciranja v procese v industriji.

“…Therefore, various de-icing and anti-icing techniques were developed over the last decades. By now, certain coatings have been developed to reduce ice adhesion resulting in lower ice or snow accumulation (Saito et al, 1997, Kulinich and Farzaneh, 2004, 2005, Menini and Farzaneh, 2009, Arianpour et al, 2013. The ideal solution would be applying a durable, easy to process, and inexpensive material which would reduce adhesion to such an extent that ice would fall off under the pull of gravity, e.g.…”
