When superhydrophobic coatings are icephobic: Role of surface topology

Among different types of anti-icing coatings, superhydrophobic coatings have attracted considerable attention due to their water repellency and low heat-transfer rate. However, condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces at low temperatures usually causes an increase in ice adhesion because of the ind...
