Abstract

Ice is omnipresent in our daily life and possesses intrinsic slipperiness as a result of the formation of a quasi-liquid layer. Thus, the functional surfaces inspired by ice show great prospects in widespread fields from surface lubrication to antifouling coatings. Herein, we report an ice-inspired polymeric slippery surface (II-PSS) constructed by a self-lubricating liquid layer and a densely surface-grafted polymer brush. The polymer brush layer could act as a homogeneous matrix to capture lubricant molecules via strong and dynamic dipole–dipole interactions to form a stable quasi-liquid layer that resembles the ice surface. The II-PSS can be easily fabricated on various solid substrates (e.g., silicon, glass, aluminum oxide, plastics, etc.) with excellent smoothness (roughness of ∼0.4 nm), optical transmittance (∼94.5%), as well as repellence toward diverse liquids with different surface tensions (22.3–72.8 mN m –1 ), pH values (1–14), salinity, and organic pollutants. Further investigation shows that the II-PSS exhibits extremely low attachment for proteins and marine organisms (e.g., algae and mussels) for over one month. These results demonstrate a robust and promising strategy for high-performance antifouling coatings.
