Abstract
A method of depositing a coating and a layered structure is provided. A coating is deposited on a substrate to make a layered structure, such that an interface between the coating and the substrate is formed. The coating includes silicon, oxygen, and carbon, where the carbon doping in the coating increases between the interface and the top surface of the coating. The top surface of the coating is inherently hydrophobic and icephobic, and reduces the wetting of water or ice film on the layered structure, without requiring reapplication of the coating.
