Observations of the frosting process on line-patterned hydrophobic surfaces have reported. The frost does not penetrate into the spaces, and it is believed that the frost adhesion can be reduced. Therefore, there is a possibility that this technology can be applied to prevent icing. However, the relationship between the line patterns and the ice adhesions of ice following freezing has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, the line patterns with the various space widths were fabricated on some silicon substrate surfaces, and the relationship between the change in hydrophobicity due to the line patterns and the icing force was investigated. As a result, it was found that the icing force decreases as the contact angle increases and does not change with the space widths of the line patterns.
