Polysiloxane is one of the most favorite polymeric materials used in the emerging field of
passive surface icephobicity; This is due to its tailorable softness, hydrophobicity, and …

Ice adhesion plays a crucial role in the performance of materials under outdoor conditions,
where the mitigation of snow and ice accumulation or spontaneous shedding of solid water …

Hypothesis Ice adhesion to solids, being affected by the ice/solid intermolecular interactions
and structure of ice surface layer is dependent on temperature, and ice surface layer …

In this study, a superhydrophobic and anti-icing coating (F-SiO 2 coating) for metal surfaces
was fabricated through a template method and chemical vapor deposition. The coated …

Ice readily sheds from weak oil-swollen polymer gels but tends to adhere to mechanically
robust coatings. This paper reports bilayer coatings that simultaneously possess high bulk …

The accumulation of ice on structures can restrict the performance of equipment and cause
other concerns in many industries such as aviation, automotive transportation …

Ice formation and accumulation on surfaces has a negative impact in many different sectors
and can even represent a potential danger. In this review, the latest advances and trends in …

The roles of surface roughness on icephobicity including ice adhesion strength have been
long debated in icephobicity studies. However, the direct/systematic influence of surface …

Hypothesis Soft materials are promising candidates for designing passive de-icing systems.
It is unclear whether low adhesion on soft surfaces is due to elasticity or lubrication, and how …

Ice accretion is a serious problem in cold climates, causing automobile and airplane
accidents, as well as severe economic losses throughout various sectors. To combat these …
