• Design of Icephobic Surfaces by Lowering Ice Adhesion Strength: A Mini Review 

      He, Zhiwei; Zhuo, Yizhi; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Ice accretion can lead to severe consequences in daily life and sometimes catastrophic events. To mitigate the hazard of icing, passive icephobic surfaces have drawn widespread attentions because of their abilities in ...
    • Epidermal Gland Inspired Self-Repairing Slippery Lubricant-Infused Porous Coatings with Durable Low Ice Adhesion 

      Li, Tong; Zhuo, Yizhi; Håkonsen, Verner; Rønneberg, Sigrid; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The limited durability of slippery lubricant-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) restricts their practical applications. Inspired by the epidermal glands of skins, we developed a facile approach to durable SLIPS with gland-like ...
    • Interlaboratory study of ice adhesion using different techniques 

      Rønneberg, Sigrid; Zhuo, Yizhi; Laforte, Caroline; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Low ice adhesion surfaces are a promising anti-icing strategy. However, reported ice adhesion strengths cannot be directly compared between research groups. This study compares results obtained from testing the ice adhesion ...
    • Machine Learning Based Prediction of Nanoscale Ice Adhesion on Rough Surfaces 

      Ringdahl, Simen; Xiao, Senbo; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      It is widely recognized that surface roughness plays an important role in ice adhesion strength, although the correlation between the two is far from understood. In this paper, two approaches, molecular dynamics (MD) ...
    • Nanoscale Correlations of Ice Adhesion Strength and Water Contact Angle 

      Rønneberg, Sigrid; Xiao, Senbo; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Surfaces with low ice adhesion represent a promising strategy to achieve passive anti-icing performance. However, as a successful and robust low ice adhesion surface must be tested under realistic conditions at low ...
