Anti-Icing Properties of Superhydrophobic poly (vinyl chloride) Coatings

Abstract:

In this work, the anti-icing properties of different poly (vinyl chloride) coatings with different wettabilities were investigated in a climatic chamber with a working temperature of −10 °C. Compared with smooth poly (vinyl chloride) coating, the superhydrophobic poly (vinyl chloride) coating with high sliding angle did not show obvious anti-icing property. However, the superhydrophobic poly (vinyl chloride) coating with low sliding angle can largely prevent ice formation on the surface, showing excellent anti-icing property.
