Abstract:
This review surveys the development of hydrophobic and anti-icing coatings fabricated by cold gas dynamic spraying. It discusses fabrication strategies for achieving high hydrophobicity and icephobicity with cold gas dynamic spraying, covering coatings based on polymeric, metallic, and ceramic materials. A key advantage of cold gas dynamic spraying is its ability to create coatings with complex microstructures that confer high hydrophobicity and icephobicity without the need for post-processing. The review also covers the fundamental theoretical models of wetting and the key factors governing surface icephobicity.
Keywords:cold gas dynamic spraying, surface coating, hydrophobicity, icephobicity, wettability.
