Aircraft icing refers to ice formation and accumulation on the windward surface of aircrafts. It
is mainly caused by the striking of unstable supercooled water droplets suspended in clouds …

In the present review, the formation of superhydrophobic (SHP) structures on the surface of
Mg alloys was investigated. Different methods including hydrothermal technique, chemical …

Aluminum is extensively used metals in transmission lines, and the accumulation of ice on
aluminum may inflict serious damage such as tower collapse and power failure. In this study …

The poor mechanical stability of most reported superhydrophobic surfaces severely
hindered their practical applications. In this paper, a robust and stable superhydrophobic …

This study aimed to develop an effective method to fabricate the amphiphobic polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF) composite membranes for membrane distillation (MD) with excellent …

Marine corrosion and biofouling on metallic materials are sticky problems. Herein, we
prepared hierarchical structured superhydrophobic (SHPB) surfaces via a versatile one step …

Endowing metallic surfaces with special wettability and unique interfacial contacts broadens
their wide application fields. Herein, superhydrophobic and lubricant-infused ultraslippery …

In this study, a facile and detailed strategy to fabricate superhydrophobic aluminum surfaces
with controllable adhesion by femtosecond laser ablation is presented. The influences of key …

A stable composite coating with good superhydrophobicity and corrosion resistance was
fabricated on the magnesium alloy surface. The composite coating consists of a rough nickel …

As an emerging fringe science, bionics integrates the understanding of nature, imitation of
nature, and surpassing nature in one aspect, and it organically combines the synergistic …
