Ice adhesion properties of periodic surface microtextured optically transparent superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane

Adhesion of fluid infused silicone elastomer to glass

“…Silicone oil can be added to the network by immersing the elastomer in the oil after curing, 3,4 be added during curing, 5 or be present as unreacted oligomers. 6 Oil infused elastomers have found applications toward anti-icing, 5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] or antifouling. 4,[14][15][16] Moreover, the presence of fluid within elastomers has enabled their use as skin mimics [17][18][19][20][21][22] or light responsive materials.…”
