Abstract

Due to the vast applications in biomedical materials and aerospace industry, smart slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have attracted remarkable attention. However, there are still challenges in the fabrication of durable SLIPS. In this work, based on linear polyurea and silicone oil, a series of durable anti-icing surface were fabricated. Based on the long-lasting secretion of lubricant, the ice adhesion strength of 60-PUa was 2.7 ± 0.5 kPa and could remain below 10 kPa even after 30 icing-deicing cycles. And the icing delay time of 60-PUa could be extended up to 870 s at a temperature of −15 °C. The introduction of large numbers of reversible hydrogen bonds in the system and silicone oil made it possible to achieve high self-healing efficiency under natural conditions. The coating system not only improved the ice removal ability, but also had excellent water-sliding properties, the droplet could slide under its own weight on 60-PUa at a tilt angle of 4.7°. This work provides an easy way to fabricate multi-functional SLIPS with durability.
