After several years of attempting to identify a superhydrophobic surface that exhibited a low interfacial toughness with ice, we’ve finally found one! Qimeng’s excellent study on a durable coating with high graft density of the low surface energy layer has enabled us to measure a LIT superhydrophobic surface for the very first time. Great work Qimeng and co-authors!! Check out:
