Ice formation and accumulation on surfaces has a negative impact in many different sectors
and can even represent a potential danger. In this review, the latest advances and trends in …

The pursuit of achieving both ceramic-like hardness and polymer-like flexibility in a coating,
known as a polymer–ceramic hybrid coating, is a challenging yet highly desirable goal. The …

Solving the problem of ice accumulation on solid surfaces is of great importance to industrial
production and human life. At present, the design of most anti-icing materials faces the …

Hypothesis Passive low ice-adhesion surfaces are frequently composed of soft materials;
however, soft materials potentially present durability issues, which could be overcome by …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted significant attention because of their broad range
of fascinating applications. The issue of poor mechanical stability, nevertheless, severely …

Nowadays, multifunctional superhydrophobic coating has drawn widespread attention by
virtue of its great water-repellent property, whereas the fragile mechanical and chemical …

The design of anti-icing structures is challenging for epoxy coatings, which are widely used
in aircraft, wind power generation equipment, and outdoor buildings. Inspired by the …

It has been recognized that good mechanical robustness and chemical stability are the keys
