Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

BACKGROUND Surfaces that control solid, liquid, or vapor accretion have numerous
applications, including self-cleaning windows and solar panels; water and fog harvesting; …

Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces occurs frequently in nature and industry, often
adversely affecting the efficiency and reliability of technological processes. The ability of …

In recent years, various slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have been reported
in protection of various materials. However, these SLIPSs are restricted to specific …

Liquid-infused surfaces (or lubricant-infused surfaces)(LIS) are a new class of functional
materials introduced in 2011. Their exceptional properties have earned them a place at the …

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 …

Passive anti-icing surfaces, or icephobic surfaces, are an area of great interest because of
their significant economic, energy and safety implications in the prevention and easy …

Ice accretion has a negative impact on critical infrastructure, as well as a range of
commercial and residential activities. Icephobic surfaces are defined by an ice adhesion …

Undesired ice accumulation leads to severe economic issues and, in some cases, loss of
lives. Although research on anti-icing has been carried out for decades, environmentally …

Superhydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces are based on the surface micro/nanomorphologies
; however, such surfaces are mechanically weak and stop functioning when exposed to oil …
