Study on Robust Icephobicity of Tape Surface†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20160766

Abstract

Abstract:

Gluing polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) microspheres on the tape and planting ZnO nanorods on the microspheres with crystal growth method, we got the microsphere/nanorods topographies, which is characterized as flexibility, larger size, superhydrophobicity and icephobicity in low temperature. The liquid water droplet could suspend on the surface and realize to delay icing performances. The interface of solid/liquid changes little before and after the icing/melting cycle, which indicates the robust stability. This functional anti-icing film composed with tape and PMMA has potential application in the fields such as wind power, high voltage cable and fridge.

Key words: Polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA), ZnO nanorods, Icephobicity, Superhydrophobic, Stability
