这种新型的防冰涂层材料表现出极低的冰粘附力,并具有持久的机械、耐化学、耐紫外和耐环境性能,可喷涂使用,几乎适用于任何表面,据试验模拟,这种材料可耐用十年。材料有望应用于飞机等。与其它材料相比,这种材料不仅耐用性好,而且不需要使用其它润滑液体浸润(Non-wetting, liquid-infused and hydrated surfaces)。材料有望在飞机等领域应用。

Abstract

Icephobic surfaces have a critical footprint on human daily lives in cold climates ranging from aviation systems and infrastructures to energy systems. However, creation of these surfaces for low-temperature applications remains elusive. Non-wetting, liquid-infused and hydrated surfaces have inspired routes for development of icephobic surfaces. However, high ice adhesion strength (~20-100 kPa) and subsequent ice accretion, low long-term mechanical and environmental durability, and high production cost have restricted their applications. Here, we cast fundamentals of a new physical concept called stress-localization to develop icephobic surfaces with ice adhesion in order of 1 kPa and exceptional mechanical, chemical and environmental durability.
