Preparation and anti-icing performance of fluorosilicate superhydrophobic anti-icing coating
Abstract In response to the issues of complex and cumbersome preparation and coating processes for various superhydrophobic materials, as well as insufficient superhydrophobic and anti-icing performance, we have developed a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating based on fluorosilicone rubber. By using hydroxyl silicone oil and silicone oil
