TL;DR:
Hemp-based sustainable slippery metal surfaces display good icephobic and antithrombotic properties and will pave the path to more safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable or recyclable slippery surfaces for applications in food packaging, anti-icing or de-icing coatings, and antithrombotic medical devices.

With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill that removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act altogether, production of hemp is experiencing a renaissance. Building on this revival and re-emergence of hemp, we designed and fabricated hemp-based sustainable and robust slippery surfaces by coating hemp paper with beeswax and subsequently infusing it with hemp oil. A wide variety of aqueous liquids and beverages easily slide on our hemp-based sustainable slippery surfaces, without leaving a trace. We also fabricated hemp-based sustainable slippery surfaces using different textured metals. Our hemp-based sustainable slippery metal surfaces display good icephobic and antithrombotic properties. With these attributes, we envision that our hemp-based sustainable slippery surfaces will pave the path to more safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable or recyclable slippery surfaces for applications in food packaging, anti-icing or de-icing coatings, and antithrombotic medical devices.
