It was found that SHS could retard the sessile droplet freezing and lower the ice adhesion probably due to the interfacial air pockets （IAPs） on water/SHS interface. However, as surface temperature decreasing, some IAPs were squeezed out and such freezing retarding and adhesion lowering effect for SHS was reduced greatly. For a surface temperature of-19℃, ice adhesion on SHS was even greater than that on CHS. To discover the reason for the squeezing out of lAPs, forces applied to the suspended water on IAPs were analyzed and it was found that the stability of IAPs was associated with surface mi- cro-structures and surface temperature. These findings might be helpful to designing of SHS with good anti-icing properties.展开更多
