Re-Entrant Super-Repellent Metallic Structures for Robust Anti-Icing.

ABSTRACT: Superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit significant potential for anti-icing applications. However, sustaining the superhydrophobic Cassie-Baxter state under conditions of low temperature, high humidity, and dynamic impacts remains a critical challenge. Re-entrant structures, as a milestone advance in the study of super-repellent surfaces, not only render material surfaces the Cassie-Baxter state when contacting with liquids beyond water, but also raise a capability in keeping the super-repellent surfaces effective under broader environmental conditions. However, most studies on re-entrant super-repellent structures focus on their room-temperature performances. The water-repellent capabilities of re-entrant structures under low-temperature conditions and their anti-icing performances, in particu
