Ice accretion may cause malfunction or serious performance degradation in outdoor facilities
and structures, such as aircraft, ship, locks and dams, offshore platforms, solar panels, wind …

Anti-icing coating is one of the recent hot topics in industrial applications as well as from the
academic viewpoint. Icing is one of the major problem on various substrates such as glass …

Anti-icing superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted tremendous interests due to their
repellency to water and extremely low ice affinity, whereas the weak durability has been the …

Even though polyurethane (PU) has been widely applied, its hydrophobicity is inadequate
for certain applications. As such, the development of superhydrophobic polyurethane …

A timesaving method based on inexpensive and nontoxic chemicals is adopted to fabricate
a superhydrophobic surface for engineering applications. The characterization of chemical …

The skin of springtails is well‐known for being able to repel water and organic liquids using
their hexagonally arranged protrusions with reentrant structures. Here, a method to prepare …

For a superhydrophobic coating, its limited durability has been a persistent issue that
prevents its widespread usage in outdoor applications. Here, we propose a scalable, self …

Functional surfaces for reversibly switchable wettability and oil–water separation have
attracted much interest with pushing forward an immense influence on fundamental …

High-performance de/anti-icing overlayers which can be deposited on diverse surfaces offer
great potential in many industrial settings and daily life, yet a versatile overlayer applicable …

The superhydrophobic surface was successfully prepared on aluminum alloy 6061 by
anodization and lauric acid modification. The reaction was carried out for 1 h in a 0.3 MH 3 …
