Ultrafast Flame-Ablation–Enabled Fabrication of Repairable Superhydrophobic Anti-Icing Surfaces

Conventional superhydrophobic anti-icing coatings for propellers or aircraft leading edges suffer from inadequate durability, protracted fabrication cycles, and high processing costs, which constrain deployment in extreme environments. This work presents a rapid synergistic approach that combines templating with flame induction. A stable micro-nanostructure is first imparted to silicone rubber via templating, and a brief ≈3 s flame treatment then produces a coating-free and repairable superhydrophobic surface. The surface shows a static water contact angle of ≈162.3° and a sliding angle of ≈0.56°. At −15 °C, the icing delay reaches 1060 s, ≈7.3 times that of pristine silicone rubber, and obvious frosting is absent until ≈840 s. Even after 2500 mL sand-flow impingement, 180 min water-jet impact, 72 h ultraviolet irradiation, 72 h chemical corrosion, >120 cycles of compression/tension/bending, and sandpaper abrasion, the surface still maintains a contact angle >155° and a sliding angle <4°. These results highlight its outstanding mechanical robustness and chemical stability. The method integrates ultrafast fabrication, low cost, straightforward scalability, and repeatable repair, delivering an efficient, long-lasting, and repairable anti-icing anti-frosting surface design for aircraft leading edges and other critical components, with strong potential for practical deployment.
