Abstract

Icing phenomena in low-temperature environments constitute a significant impediment to the safety of vehicular transit and the structural integrity of transmission lines. The accretion of ice may precipitate structural compromise, augment the mechanical load, and potentially incite catastrophic system failures, particularly within the pivotal sectors of transportation and power infrastructure. Traditional superhydrophobic surfaces, which are engineered to exhibit micro- and nano-scale roughness in conjunction with low surface energy materials, have manifested initial efficacy in mitigating ice adhesion. However, their performance is susceptible to degradation over time due to their mechanical wear, environmental exposure, and the accretion of impurities, thereby attenuating their ice-phobic characteristics.

Key words
