• Self-deicing Electrolyte Hydrogel Surfaces with Pa-level Ice Adhesion and Durable Anti-freezing/frost Performance 

      Li, Tong; Ibáñez-Ibáñez, pablo; Håkonsen, Verner; Wu, Jianyang; Xu, Ke; Zhuo, Yizhi; Luo, Sihai; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Despite the remarkable advances in mitigating ice formation and accretion, however, no engineered anti-icing surfaces today can durably prevent frost formation, droplet freezing and ice accretion in an economical and ...
    • Surface Wrinkling with Memory for Programming Adhesion and Wettability 

      Wang, Feng; Xiao, Senbo; Luo, Sihai; Fu, Yuequn; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge; Kristiansen, Helge; cui, mengkui; zhong, chao; Liu, Siqi; Zhuo, Yizhi; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Modulating surface wrinkling is important for a variety of engineering applications. It has been known for more than two decades that the wavelength of surface wrinkles occurring in a metal film–soft polymer system scales ...
    • Ultra-robust icephobic coatings with high toughness, strong substrate adhesion and self-healing capability 

      Zhuo, Yizhi; Håkonsen, Verner; Liu, Siqi; Li, Tong; Wang, Feng; Luo, Sihai; Xiao, Senbo; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Enabling surfaces with passive anti-icing properties is an emerging, facile, economical, and energy-saving strategy to mitigate the harm caused by ice accretion. However, the combination of icephobicity and robustness still ...
