Icephobicity refers to a solid surface's ability to repel ice itself or prevent ice formation on the surface. Icephobic surfaces are topographically manipulated to inhibit the phase change from water to ice, but they are not always hydrophobic in nature, meaning they do not necessarily repel water. The applications and construction of ice phobic surfaces are extensive. To explore more about the different areas that make icephobic surfaces possible, explore the six links below.
