A hybrid anti-/de-icing system combining a superhydrophobic coating and an electrothermal heater is an area of active research for aircraft icing prevention. The heater increases the temperature of the interaction surface between impinging droplets and an aircraft surface. One scientific question that has not been studied in great detail is whether the temperatures of the droplet and the surface or the temperature difference between the two dominate the anti-/de-icing performance. Herein, this scientific question is experimentally studied based on the mobility of a water droplet over a superhydrophobic coating. The mobility is characterized by the sliding angle between the droplet and the coating surface. It was found that the temperature difference between the droplet and the coating surface has a higher impact on the sliding angle than their individual temperatures.

Composite superhydrophobic coating built with film former and filler is attracting much attention for its facile and convenient fabrication, but significant limitations and disadvantages still remain. In this paper, a composite superhydrophobic coating is introduced which can be cured at room temperature and made by dispersing modified silica nanoparticles with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane in fluorosilicone resin. Silica content and dispersion time showed obvious influences on the morphology and topography of composite coating by reuniting dispersed nanoparticles to form peaks on the surface. Excessively large distances between these peaks would decrease water contact angle value. Increasing slope of peaks, appropriate distance between peaks and decreasing diameter size of peaks would diminish sliding angle value. Formation mechanism of the composite coating based on fluorosilicone resin and modified nanoparticles was explained using interpenetrating polymer model.

Numerical Approaches

The estimation of water droplet impingement is the first step toward a complete ice accretion assessment. Numerical approaches are usually implied to support the experimental testing and to provide fast responses when designing ice protection systems. Basically, two different numerical methodologies can be found in literature: Lagrangian and Eulerian. The present paper describes the design and development of a tool based on a Eulerian equation set solved on Cartesian meshes by using an immersed boundary (IB) technique. The tool aims at computing the evolution of a droplet cloud and the impingement characteristics onto the exposed surfaces of an aircraft. The robustness of the methodology and the accuracy of the approach are discussed. The method is applying to classical two- and three-dimensional test cases for which experimental data are available in literature. The results are compared with both experiments and body-fitted numerical solutions.

A simple and practical spray method is employed to prepare a PVDF/PFOTES-SiO2 superhydrophobic composite coating on the AZ31B Mg alloy substrate. The morphology, composition, and water contact angle (CA) were measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and contact angle measuring instrument. Hydrophilic nano-SiO2 is modified by PFOTES to obtain hydrophobicity. The influence of the mass of PFOTES-SiO2 to PVDF on the hydrophobic properties was studied. The wear resistance and stability of the composite coating have been investigated by immersion test, cross-cut adhesion test and friction test. Additionally, the corrosion resistance was measured by electrochemical workstation and salt spray corrosion test. The CA of PVDF/PFOTES-SiO2 coating is 161.3° and the sliding angle (SAs) is less than 2°. After 10× the sandpaper friction test, the superhydrophobic contact angle of the coating remained above 155°, and the sliding angle was less than 5°, which indicated that the prepared coating is a strong superhydrophobic coating with good wear resistance. The results of the electrochemical tests show that the superhydrophobic coating improved the anti-corrosion performance of Mg alloy, and the water contact angle is greater than 150° after 168 h salt spray corrosion test. Due to its excellent superhydrophobicity, wear resistance and anti-corrosion properties, the robust PVDF/PFOTES-SiO2 coating is considered to have great potential for future applications in the automotive and marine industries.

In the present study, a scalable-manufactured and environmental-friendly method was proposed to fabricate the superhydrophobic coating on titanium alloy. The hierarchical binary surface structures were obtained by hydrothermal treatment of titanium alloy with oxalic acid and sodium hydroxide solutions successively. The hierarchical structure surfaces after fluoroalkyl-silane modification possessed a maximum contact angle of 158.7° and a sliding angle of 4.3°. The low contact angle hysteresis surface can lead to efficient self-cleaning performance, which was confirmed by the bounce and roll off of water droplet on the surface. Furthermore, the anticorrosion behaviors of the superhydrophobic coating in 3.5[Formula: see text]wt.% NaCl solution was evaluated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was found that the superhydrophobic coating can maintain its superhydrophobic state (150°) within 48 h, thereby effectively preventing the corrosive medium from penetrating into the coating. This simple yet fast anti-corrosion/self-cleaning superhydrophobic coating manufacturing strategy will enlighten its potential application in the engineering fields.
