Popis: Passive icephobic coatings attract increasing attention due to their harmless strategy for preventing undesirable ice accumulation. Slippery liquid-infused surfaces display extremely low ice adhesion (τice) but are argued for their poor stabilities and longevities due to inevitable liquid consumption. Herein we reported a class of lubricated polysiloxane coatings that can maintain low τice (∼2.2 kPa) for a long time (>800 icing/deicing cycle). The coatings have slippery lubricated surfaces and switchable porous matrices loading a large amount of liquid in isolated porevoids. Such droplet-embedded structure allows the surfaces to continuously maintain highly swelling states in a self-adaptive manner, i.e., only in the conditions icing or oil consumption occur dose oil is released, and thus show excellent long-term icephobicity. Besides, these materials exhibit good mechanical properties, antifatigue, and substrate adhesion. Because the coatings can be prepared via facile and green method from cheap starting materials, we foresee their broad application prospect in many fields.
