Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces were developed recently for icephobic surface
applications. Perfluorinated liquids, silicone oil, hydrocarbon, and water were used as
lubricating liquids to form a continuous layer on a suitable substrate to prevent icing.
However, ice accretion performances of these surfaces have not been reported previously
depending on the type of the lubricant. In this work, fluorinated aliphatics, polyalphaolefin,
silicone oil, and decamethylcyclopenta siloxane were used as hydrophobic lubricants; …
