To address the degradation of insulation and mechanical properties and the risk of lightning strikes caused by insulator icing, this study developed an environmental friendly and recyclable superhydrophobic material (DGEAC/SiO2-POTS). Silica was obtained through sol-gel hydrolysis, and SiO2 particles were modified with n-octyltriethoxysilane (POTS). This SiO2 particles were then mixed with multifunctional polyester (DGEAC), and micro/micro/nano three-layer hierarchical superhydrophobic coating was constructed on the surface of the insulator through phase separation technology. The results show that the coating exhibit exceptional superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of 162.2° and a rolling angle less than 5°; the coating maintains superhydrophobicity after 400 cycles of sandpaper abrasion, 100 cycles of tape peeling, and acid/base solution corrosion; the coating retains its hydrophobic effect after 15 cycles of high-low temperature alternating tests. Compared with bare insulators, the coating delays ice formation by 5.6 times at -20℃ and significantly reduces ice adhesion to 28.7 kPa. The innovative introduction of a dynamic covalent bond ester exchange mechanism enables the efficient recovery of SiO2-POTS particles with stable performance using ethylene glycol. The material has a volume resistivity greater than 2.8×1014 Ω·cm and a peak breakdown voltage reaches 22.94 kV. This multifunctional material integrates anti-icing, durability, recyclability, and electrical safety, which can offer a promising green solution for protecting transmission equipment.
