摘要

液体防冰、电热防冰、气热防冰、机械除冰等传统的防/除冰技术具有显著的防/除冰效果，但存在消耗能源大、防冰时间有限以及除冰不彻底等问题，而基于疏水/超疏水表面的防/除冰技术则具有独特的优势。本文首先阐述了利用疏水表面和超疏水表面防/除冰的原理及其影响因素；然后，总结了常用的疏水表面和超疏水表面在防/除冰中存在的问题，并指出利用液滴的反弹特性可更加有效地抑制结冰；最后，提出未来有必要对撞击液滴的动力学过程、传热过程和结冰过程的耦合特性进行系统研究，进而为利用液滴的反弹特性抑制结冰提供一定的理论指导。

Abstract

Inhibiting icing of droplets is of great significance in practical engineering applications

and thus

employing an economical and efficient anti/de-icing method is a research hotspot. Traditional technologies such as liquid anti-icing

electric heating anti-icing

air heating anti-icing

and mechanical de-icing have significant anti/de-icing effects

but they also suffer from issues such as high energy consumption

limited anti-icing time

and incomplete de-icing effect; whereas the anti/de-icing technique based on hydrophobic/superhydrophobic surfaces can have obvious advantages. In this study

we first review the mechanism and affecting factors of anti/de-icing process using hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces. Then

we address the existing problems for this anti/de-icing technique

and point out that the efficiency of the anti/de-icing process can be further improved by using the rebound characteristics of droplets. Finally

we suggest that it is necessary to systematically study the coupling characteristics of the kinetic process

the heat transfer process and the freezing process of impacting droplets in the future

so that it can provide a theoretical guidance for ice inhibition using the rebound characteristics of droplets.
