Ice accumulation poses a series of severe issues in daily life. Inspired by the nature, superwettability surfaces have attracted great interests from fundamental research to anti-icing and ice-phobic applications. Here, recently published literature about the mechanism of ice prevention is reviewed, with a focus on the anti-icing and ice-phobic mechanisms, encompassing the behavior of condensate microdrops on the surface, wetting, ice nucleation, and freezing. Then, a detailed account of the innovative fabrication and fundamental research of anti-icing materials with special wettability is summarized with a focus on recent progresses including low-surface energy coatings and liquid-infused layered coatings. Finally, special attention is paid to a discussion about advantages and disadvantages of the technologies, as well as factors that affect the anti-icing and ice-phobic efficiency. Outlooks and the challenges for future development of the anti-icing and ice-phobic technology are presented and discussed.

“…Conductive concrete is mainly used for deicing and snow melting as well as indoor heating, 29,30 so it is necessary to study the electric heating performance of ionically conductive mortar. Specimens FS-02 and CS-01-Cu, which showed the best conductivity in the tests, were subsequently subject to the heating test.…”

An innovative conductive composite, ionically conductive mortar, is developed in this study. The directional migration of ions under external voltage makes the mortar conductive. The electrical resistance of the mortar causes the mortar to generate heat, which is used for deicing. To ensure conductivity, the number of free ions and the moisture content in the mortar must stay relatively high. The specimens were soaked in electrolyte solutions for 96 hours to saturation and coated with epoxy resin. Subsequent electrical heating tests showed that the specimens could achieve a heating rate of 19.7°C (35.5°F) in 120 minutes under 30 V AC. This heating performance would improve with increasing applied voltage.

“…One of the first works was presented by Tuan in 2008 (28), using a mix of carbonaceous materials and steel fibres. Most of the real-scale tests were intended for de-icing applications (21,30), and for self-sensing applications (15). However, we are still far away to find multifunctional cementitious materials fully incorporated into the civil engineering industry.…”

Conductive cementitious materials have gained immense attention in recent years owing to the possibility of achieving multifunctional materials. The usual approach has been to incorporate carbonaceous nanomaterials and/or virgin carbon fibres into cementitious matrices. This paper presents the first research devoted to the development of conductive cementitious materials using recycled carbon fibres (rCFs). Four different types of PANbased rCFs were studied, by varying the aspect ratio and supplying characteristics, in two concrete dosages: conventional and ultra-high-performance concrete mixes. Two mixing methods-dry and wet-commonly used to fabricate fibre-reinforced concrete were considered. The results obtained in our result have shown that wet mix method achieves better
