Research Progress in Anti-/De-Icing Applications of Biomimetic Superhydrophobic Surface
In the aerospace field,the icing on the surface of aircraft wings not only increases energy consumption but also poses a serious threat to people's lives.The anti-icing/icephobic method has become a research hotspot in the aerospace field in recent years due to its advantages of low energy consumption,economy,and environmental soundness.Biomimetic superhydrophobic materials have become the first materials in the field of anti-icing/icephobic due to their excellent hydrophobicity.The research on the hydrophobic mechanism of biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces is summarized,and a 3D thermodynamic theoretical model is established to guide the design of superhydrophobic surfaces.The biomimetic superhydrophobic materials are reviewed to change the wettability of water droplets,delay the freezing of water droplets,reduce the adhesion strength of the ice,and summarize the proposed three-line of defense of anti-icing/icephobic on biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces.The three-line of defense of anti-icing/icephobic work in tandem to ensure an ice-free surface.The three-line of defense of anti-icing/icephobic provides a new idea for achieving low energy consumption and high efficiency in the field of anti-icing/icephobic,which is an important development trend for future bionic anti-icing/icephobic surfaces.
