Fig. 2: Evaluation of slippery surface performance.

a Measured sliding angles of various liquids (fluorocarbon oil, water, milk, human serum, olive oil, and honey) on P-S and O-S surfaces (tilting speed: 0.8°/s). b Sliding speeds of different liquids (tilting angle: 30°). c Time-lapsed images showing liquid repellency and the absence of staining on slippery surfaces. Scale bar: 20 mm. d Ice adhesion strength measurement on the various surfaces (pushing speed: 1.47 μm/s). e Fabricated large-scale O-S (300 × 800 mm2). Scale bar: 100 mm. f Measured light transmittance values for the slippery surfaces and a PET film. Bars represent mean values, and error bars indicate mean ± SD (n = 5 independent experiments).
