Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Icing is a normal natural phenomenon. However, unnecessary surface icing will lead to serious accidents and disasters. Based on the great harm caused by the icing problem, relevant scholars have carried out a lot of research and devoted themselves to protection against icing, but it is still a challenge to develop an efficient, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, stable and durable anti-icing surface. In view of the special wetting phenomenon in nature, we are inspired to design a new anti-icing surface to provide a new solution for this field in an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, sustainable and more efficient way.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to stimulate innovation by exploring the combination of superhydrophobic surfaces and aviation safety. We seek new contributions to demonstrate the feasibility of superhydrophobic anti-icing surfaces by integrating materials science, physics and mechanical engineering into aviation anti-icing technology in areas including, but not limited to, the following: surface icing conditions and hazards, efficient ice accumulation protection strategies, superhydrophobic design and development, research on superhydrophobic anti-icing performance, failure mechanism and improvement measures of superhydrophobic anti-icing surfaces.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research papers on the application of superhydrophobic surfaces in the field of anti-icing. We sincerely invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
