Superhydrophobic surface is extensive used in aerospace, biomedicine and everyday life
because of its excellent hydrophobicity. In order to verify the durability and stability of …

The risk of accidents caused by ice adhesion on critical aircraft surfaces is a significant
concern. To combat this, active ice protection systems (AIPS) are installed on aircraft, which …

Nanofibers have gained much attention because of the large surface area they can provide.
Thus, many fabrication methods that produce nanofiber materials have been proposed …

In this work, the implementation of advanced functional coatings based on the combination
of two compatible nanofabrication techniques such as electrospinning and dip-coating …

Slippery coatings, such as the slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS), have gained
significant attention for their potential applications in anti-icing and anti-fouling. However …

The development of anti-icing robust surfaces is a hot topic nowadays and particularly
crucial in the aeronautics or wind energy sectors as ice accretion can compromise safety …

The absorption of water by slippery coatings is a ubiquitous phenomenon that arises due to
small but finite water dissolution during the contact of aqueous media with lubricants. In this …

Compared to other polymers, composite coatings with fluoropolymers as the matrix have
attracted considerable interest due to their mechanical performance, chemical stability, and …

Ice accretion is an unavoidable phenomenon that endangers the performance of outdoor
infrastructure and vehicles at low temperatures. To combat ice accretion, the use of anti …

A superhydrophobic composite coating consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and
poly (acrylic acid)+ β-cyclodextrin (PAA+ β-CD) was prepared on an aluminum alloy AA …
