Surface design is a promising approach to avoid problems with ice accretion. Here we investigated the water freezing characteristics on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film with micropillar-array structure. We fabricated a micropillar square array with the pillar diameter of 10 μm, the heigh of 20 μm, and the pitch of 50 μm, using the PDMS–PDMS pattern transfer. Water contact angle and sliding-off angle measurements revealed that the micropillar PDMS film had a superhydrophobic surface. Freezing behaviors were compared for water droplet on different surfaces including a copper plate with a micropillar PDMS film. The case of micropillar PDMS film showed prolonged freezing, and the potential of anti-icing surface design was demonstrated.
