Slippery liquid‐infused porous surface (SLIPS) is an emerging anti‐icing method. The anti‐icing mechanism of SLIPS is to prevent the heat transfer from liquid droplets to the surface by forming an oil film on the solid surface. However, the contact area between the droplet and the surface of the specimen increases due to the existence of the oil film, which accelerates the heat transfer and emergence of ice. Herein, in order to further improve the anti‐icing performance of SLIPS, a microscale square column array is fabricated by wire cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) technology, on which a circular hole structure is constructed by nanosecond laser. Lubricating oil is then injected into the fluorinated surface to produce SLIPS. The maximum contact angle (CA) of the surface is 150° ± 1.2° and the contact angle hysteresis (CHA) is 1.2°. The contact mode of droplets on the surface is liquid–oil and liquid–gas, which is a multiphase mixing interface. The icing test shows that the icing time of the droplet is 4785 s at a surface temperature of −10 °C, exhibiting a good icing‐delay performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
