title: How wetting hysteresis influences ice adhesion strength on superhydrophobic surfaces.
abstract: In this work, we measured the adhesion strength of artificially created glaze ice (similar to accreted in nature) on rough fluoropolymer-based hydrophobic surfaces with different contact angle (CA) and wetting hysteresis. The previously reported direct correlation between ice repellency and CA on superhydrophobic surfaces is shown to be only valid for surfaces with low wetting hysteresis. Another correlation was found between wetting hysteresis and ice adhesion strength on rough surfaces with similar chemistry.
