Abstract: The advantages of superhydrophobic coatings as a new method for protection against atmospheric icing are considered. The basic physicochemical mechanisms determining the anti-icing performance of superhydrophobic surfaces and the problems of decreasing the efficiency of superhydrophobic materials are analyzed.
