Nanotechnology Researchers Develop Anti-Icing Surface Coating.
Flight International (5/18, Egozi) reported Professor Hana Dodiuk of Shenkar College of Engineering claims "to have developed a surface coating capable of preventing ice accumulation on plastic aircraft surfaces." Professor Dodiuk said "that tests on clear plastic show the self-cleaning, ultra-hydrophobic coating has a very low surface energy that reduces ice adhesion by 20 times compared with untreated surfaces." The point of her school's work is to "improve on anti-icing techniques involving fluids that depress water's freezing point, but are environmentally hazardous, or coatings based on silicone or fluoro-based polymers that have relatively low durability as they do not adhere well to plastic."
