Proposed mechanisms responsible for low ice adhesion on two distinct types of surfaces: (a) the increased thickness (D) of the water depletion layer leading to reduced van der Waal’s interaction between the ice and the hydrophobic surface; (b) non-frozen quasi-liquid-layer (QLL) on a PDMS+PDMS-PEG surface lubricating the contact and reducing the adhesion strength between ice and the solid surface.
