“…The mechanical robustness and surface non-wettability are improved thanks to nanofillers' promotion of mechanical strength and roughness. Because nanofillers typically have inherent antifouling activity and because rough surfaces will entrap air more than smooth surfaces, they can enhance the antifouling characteristics of surfaces [128,129].…”

Following the tributyl-tin antifouling coatings’ prohibition in 2003, global interest was directed toward non-toxic coatings as an eco-friendly alternative. Natural surfaces with superhydrophobicity exhibited exciting antifouling mechanisms. Efficient and eco-friendly antifouling coatings have been developed using bioinspired polymeric nanostructured composites. These superhydrophobic surfaces have rough topologies and low surface-free energies. Various organic/inorganic polymeric nanocomposites were developed for increasing fouling prevention by physical microfouling repulsion and chemical surface inertness. The biofouling costs and the difficulties of artificial antifouling coatings were also discussed in this chapter. It will introduce a cutting-edge research platform for next-generation antifouling surfaces for maritime navigation. This chapter aims to explain the evolution of superhydrophobic antifouling surfaces inspired by biological systems.

“…Besides, the presence of low surface energy in these superhydrophobic surfaces creates a substantial nucleation barrier . Hence, superhydrophobic surfaces have drawn a lot of attention for antifrosting applications. − Different approaches have been made to produce artificial superhydrophobic surfaces in recent years, , such as sol–gel, chemical anodization, plasma oxidation, magnetron sputtering, microwave irradiation, electron beam lithography, and ultrafast laser engineering. − Su et al produced long-lasting superhydrophobic polyester textiles using the vapor–liquid sol–gel approach. Liu et al utilized radio frequency magnetron sputtering to enhance the anti-icing/antifrosting property on aluminum surfaces with superhydrophobic ZnO coatings.…”

Frost formation and accumulation can have catastrophic effects on a wide range of industrial activities. Hence, a dual-scale surface with a stable Cassie–Baxter state is developed to mitigate the frosting problem by utilizing direct laser interference lithography assisted with hydrothermal treatment. The high Laplace pressure tolerance under the evaporation stimulus and prolonged Cassie–Baxter state maintenance under the condensation stimulus demonstrate the stable Cassie–Baxter state. The dual-scale surface exhibits a lengthy frost-delaying time of up to 5277 s at −7 °C due to the stable Cassie–Baxter state. The self-removal of frost is achieved by promoting the mobility of frost melts driven by the released interfacial energy. In addition, the dense flocculent frost layer is observed on the single-scale micro surface, whereas the sparse pearl-shaped frost layer with many voids is obtained on the dual-scale surface. This work will aid in understanding the frosting process on various-scale superhydrophobic surfaces and in the design of antifrosting surfaces.
