The superhydrophobic film retains performance against strain and bending, achieving over 5000 cycles without loss of function.
It demonstrates impressive anti-icing capabilities with a delay time of approximately 320 seconds and de-icing strength of around 45 kPa.
The skin-inspired gradient design enables effective embedding of nanoparticles in the polymer, enhancing both flexibility and superhydrophobicity.
With resistance to UV aging over 1500 hours and salt spray corrosion for over 40 days, it shows exceptional durability and versatility.
