Fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface with a hierarchical nanoflake–micropit structure and its anti-icing properties

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Herein, we report a novel route to fabricate a robust anti-icing superhydrophobic surface with a hierarchical nanoflake–micropit structure (constructed by a combination of lithography processing and chemical etching methods) on an aluminum substrate.
