N2 - Smooth (Ra ≈ 0.1 nm) and rough (Ra ≈ 20 nm) coatings of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane (FAS17) were prepared by controlling process conditions. The water contact angles for the smooth and rough coatings were similar (107° and 110°, respectively), but their sliding angles differed considerably (10° and 27°, respectively). The surface potential on the smooth coating, assessed using Kelvin force microscopy, showed a sharp distribution, but that on the rough coating ranged widely, implying large chemical heterogeneity including residual SiOH groups. The freezing temperature of a supercooled water droplet on the rough coating was higher than that on the smooth coating.
