In this study, we examine the anti-icing performance on the flexible slippery microstructure thin film in terms of adhesion strength, freezing time, and ice-repellent efficiency. Ecoflex was mixed with low surface tension lubricant to achieve the slippery property. Besides, a process of combining the dry etching and spin coating was used to generate a microstructure on the elastomer thin film. The anti-icing performance on the functionalized sample was then compared with the non-slippery substrates and demonstrated the advantages of the flexible slippery microstructure elastomer in all mentioned properties. In addition, a theoretical approach was used to predict the freezing time of a static droplet. This insight offers a new facile method and design of icephobic surfaces for outdoor applications.

在这项研究中，我们从粘合强度，冷冻时间和驱冰效率方面研究了柔性滑爽微结构薄膜的防冰性能。将Ecoflex与低表面张力的润滑剂混合以实现滑爽性。此外，结合使用干法蚀刻和旋涂的工艺以在弹性体薄膜上产生微结构。然后将在功能化样品上的防冰性能与防滑基材进行了比较，证明了柔性防滑微结构弹性体在所有上述性能方面的优势。另外，使用一种理论方法来预测静态液滴的冻结时间。这种见解为户外应用提供了一种新的简便方法和憎冰表面设计。
