Abstract
Here, we present liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) fabricated on an aluminum substrate using the anodizing method to introduce specific nanofeatures infiltrated by silicone oil to reduce the friction between ice and surface. To achieve various nanostructures on the aluminum substrate, the anodizing conditions are varied. The ice adhesion stress could be significantly plummeted to 21.7 kPa on an LIS with optimized dimensions for nanofeatures. Frost formation tests in environments with a relative humidity of 75 % on the fabricated surfaces with a temperature of −17 ℃ reveal that the fabricated samples can considerably extend the frost formation time. The frosting time for the fabricated sample can reach 47 min, whereas the bare aluminum is completely covered by frost only after 1.5 min
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
