On an airplane, a wind turbine, an oil rig or power line, it can be downright dangerous. In addition, removing it with the methods available today—usually chemical melting agents or labor-intensive scrapers and hammers—is difficult and expensive.
That could soon change thanks to a durable, inexpensive ice-repellent coating developed by University of Michigan (U-M) researchers. Thin, clear and slightly rubbery to the touch, the spray-on formula could make ice slide off equipment, airplanes, and car windshields with only the force of gravity or a gentle breeze. This could have major implications in industries like energy, shipping and transportation, where ice is a constant problem in cold climates.
The new coating could also lead to big energy savings in freezers, which today rely on complex and energy-hungry defrosting systems to stay frost-free. An ice-repelling coating could do the same job with zero energy consumption, making household and industrial freezers up to 20% more efficient. The coating is detailed in a recent paper* published in the journal Science Advances.En ligne : http://www.adhesivesmag.com/articles/94689-spray-on-coating-solution-makes-ice-s [...] Format de la ressource électronique : Web Permalink : https://e-campus.itech.fr/pmb/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=26348
