Durable anti-icing coating

Researchers describe a mechanically robust superhydrophobic polyurethane coating for anti-icing application. The development of superhydrophobic coatings with excellent mechanical properties is essential for effective anti-icing protection. Researchers now achieved a durable superhydrophobic anti-icing coating by introducing nanosilica, co-modified with fluoroalkyl silane and aminosilane, into polyurethane through a simple spraying and curing process. The resulting coating …
