Experimental Design for the Preparation of Superhydrophobic Anti-icing Surface by Imitating the Microstructure of Cold-resistant Bamboo Leaves
This study aims to explore and mimic the microstructural features of cold-resistant bamboo leaves,and design a novel superhydrophobic anti-icing surface.Based on the basic theories of wettability and heat transfer,by using bionic approach,we develop a surface that can effectively inhibit the formation and attachment of ice,thus maintaining its superhydrophobicity in low-temperature environments.Micro-nano hierarchical structure is constructed on the copper surface by one-step nanosecond laser etching,and then the surface is modified by myristic acid solution to prepare a superhydrophobic surface with cold-resistant bamboo leaf microstructure,and it is applied to anti-icing experiments.The research results show that the designed bionic sample inherits the excellent superhydrophobic anti-icing performance of cold-resistant bamboo leaves.
