The ultra-durable superhydrophobic surface achieves a water contact angle of 168°, making it highly effective against ice.
With a static ice delay time of 2880 s and dynamic anti-icing duration of 132 s, the surface outperforms conventional coatings.
Mechanical and chemical tests show the surface retains superhydrophobicity over substantial abrasions and corrosion time.
Laser-induced microstructuring contributes to enhanced performance, suggesting new pathways for long-term anti-icing solutions.
