“…[ 87 ] The hierarchical superhydrophobic surface exhibited excellent anti-wetting property with a static contact angle of 161° and dynamic sliding angle of 3°. They concluded that the icing-delay time on the superhydrophobic rough surface was many times longer than that on the smooth hydrophilic counterpart, and the ice adhesion strength on superhydrophobic surface was greatly reduced due to the Cassie wetting state with minimum contact areas.…”

Bioinspired surfaces with special wettability and adhesion have attracted great interest in both fundamental research and industry applications. Various kinds of special wetting surfaces have been constructed by adjusting the topographical structure and chemical composition. Here, recent progress of the artificial superhydrophobic surfaces with high contrast in solid/liquid adhesion has been reviewed, with a focus on the bioinspired construction and applications of one-dimensional (1D) TiO2-based surfaces. In addition, the significant applications related to artificial super-wetting/antiwetting TiO2-based structure surfaces with controllable adhesion are summarized, e.g., self-cleaning, friction reduction, anti-fogging/icing, microfluidic manipulation, fog/water collection, oil/water separation, anti-bioadhesion, and micro-templates for patterning. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of this renascent and rapidly developing field, especially with regard to 1D TiO2-based surfaces with special wettability and adhesion, are proposed and discussed.

“…31 The CCD camera was also used to record the contact process of an impact droplet to the surfaces of these samples, and the contact time was directly obtained from the CCD camera. The icing-delay time can be directly obtained from the CCD camera.…”

“…Moreover, Sample 3 exhibits a higher icing-delay performance than Sample 2, because the microscale array patterns with the nanohair structures favors to trap more air pockets between the droplet and solid surface, as revealed in Fig. 31 According to the wetting models of the droplet on these surfaces, the ice adhesion strength is mainly depended on the contact area fractions (f 1 ) of the liquid droplet on the solid. Although superhydrophobic surfaces have a strong icingdelay performance, the ice growth still occurs aer a certain amount of freezing time in subzero environment.…”

In this article, we present a route to fabricate a robust anti-icing superhydrophobic surface containing the hierarchical structures of microscale array patterns (built by micromachining) and nanohairs (prepared via hydrothermal growth) on a Ti 6 Al 4 V substrate. In particular, the superhydrophobic surfaces not only exhibited high non-wettability and water repellency, but also generated a tremendous anti-icing potential. The results of the measurements indicated that the apparent contact angle reached 160 , the contact angle hysteresis reduced to 2 , and the spreading and recoiling process of an impact droplet can be completed within 12 ms. Furthermore, it also caused a longer icing-delay time (approximately 765 s) to hinder the ice formation and growth at À10 C, and the ice adhesion strength was also only 70 kPa.

“…A common superhydrophobic surface can embody antifreezing, self-cleaning, and anti-drag properties only in water [1][2][3][4], but may not be repellent to other liquids. To solve this problem, researchers have started to concentrate on studying the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces that can resist multiple liquids [5][6][7].…”

This paper describes a simple, facile, low-cost method of fabricating a wear-resistant surface on titanium alloy substrates by single-step anodization and modification with silicon dioxide particles. The method produced a TiO 2 -SiO 2 composite surface with micro-to nanohierarchical structure, which became multifunctional after fluoroalkylsilane modification. The surface not only showed excellent superhydrophobicity [contact angles (CAs) [ 150°, sliding angles (SAs) B 8°] but also exhibited better repellency of complex whole blood (CAs = 153°± 2°, SAs = 9°). Furthermore, the wear resistance of the surface was investigated by sandpaper abrasion test. The results showed that the mechanical wear resistance of the TiO 2 -SiO 2 composite surface was more than three times that of the surface prepared only by the electrochemical technique, and the surface still maintained the capacity of hydrophobicity even after 33.6 m of wear under conditions of 3400 Pa and 360# sandpaper. The method mentioned in this paper could be a candidate for the production of abrasion-resistant and super-repellent titanium alloy. Graphical Abstract
