Why Superhydrophobic Surfaces Are Not Always Icephobic
Abstract
We discuss mechanical forces that act upon a water droplet and a piece of ice on a rough solid surface and the difference between dewetting and ice fracture. The force needed to detach a water droplet depends on contact angle (CA) hysteresis and can be reduced significantly in the case of a superhydrophobic surface. The force needed to detach a piece of ice depends on the receding CA and the initial size of interfacial cracks. Therefore, even surfaces with very high receding CA may have strong adhesion to ice if the size of the cracks is small.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
