[Objective] To develop of a surface with hydrophobic,self-healing and anti-icingproperties.[Methods]Porous titanium oxide films were prepared using anodic oxidation method andthe membrane pores were filled with perfluoropolyether to obtain an anodic titanium oxide/perfluoropolyether hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobicity,surface tension,self-healable hydrophobicityand ice adhesion of the composite coating were investigated.[Results]The results showed that the anodized titanium oxide/perfluoropolyether hydrophobic surface had better hydrophobicity compared tothe initial titanium sheet,and the surface energy of the composite coating decreased from 46. 5 J/m2 to
15. 5 J/m2. The perfluoropolyether loaded in porous titanium oxide migrated to the surface to repair thehydrophobicity,after the fluorine compounds were destroyed,which made it have self-healinghydrophobicity. After four plasma damage/healing cycles,the surface with a water contact of 96° remained hydrophobicity. The ice adhesion stress of the composite surface was reduced from 0. 22 MPa to 0.06MPa,which made it have good anti-icing performance. In addition,no obvious damage and decrease of hydrophobicity were found on this surface after sand abrasion,which made the surface have better physical and mechanical properties.[Conclusion] The anodic titanium oxide/perfluoropolyethercomposite surface has good self-healable hydrophobicity and anti-icing properties,and has broad application prospects in the field of hydrophobic self-cleaning and anti-icing.
