Title: Study on preparation and anti-icing performance of super-hydrophobic surface on aluminum alloy
Abstract: There-dimensional and binary structures of aluminum alloy surface were fabricated by chemical etching method,after modification with palmitic acid.The as-prepared surface shows well super-hydrophobic property,with the water contact angle could reach up to 157° and sliding angle smaller than 3°.The images and elements of the as-prepared surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,simultaneously,the anti-adhesion of super-hydrophobic aluminum alloy surface was tested,as well as the anti-icing and anti-frosting characteristic were studied.The result indicates that the as-prepared super-hydrophobic surface meet the Cassie model,and all the as-prepare surface not only show good super-hydrophobic and anti-adhesion property,but has extend freezing time and less frosting feature.
