Design of anti-icing surfaces: smooth, textured or slippery? (2016, neutral): “When water trapped in the Wenzel state freezes, ice adhesion scales with the actual solid/ice contact area, resulting in ice adhesion that is higher than on chemically-equivalent flat surfaces 101,168 .”
A survey of icephobic coatings and their potential use in a hybrid coating/active ice protection system for aerospace applications (2019, background): “Most of these studies use droplet impact velocities below 10m/ s [23,24] or freezing conditions not in line with typical aircraft icing conditions [25,26].”
A critical review of the measurement of ice adhesion to solid substrates (2018, methodology): “Common direct mechanical tests include push tests [10, 11, 16, 17, 19, 48, 49, 72-104] and shear tests (such as a lap joint shear test) [6-9, 13, 105-122].”
Bio-inspired strategies for anti-icing. (2014, background): “strengths on structured surfaces are much higher than that on flat surfaces regardless of the chemical composition.(96) SHSs may lose their superhydrophobicity as”
Recent Progress in Preparation and Anti-Icing Applications of Superhydrophobic Coatings (2018, background): “Nonetheless, some researchers still doubt the anti-icing potential of superhydrophobic coatings due to some complex application environments [184,185].”
