Description
ABSTRACT: The proposed research effort is focused on developing a super hydrophobic ice-phobic coating technology that will minimize ice formation on aluminum heat exchangers/condensers. In Phase I, Oceanit will focus on developing the proposed materials, demonstrate ice repellent properties, and identify routes for scale up through a manufacturing partner. BENEFIT: The successful development of novel superhydrophobic-icephobic coating technology will improve the ice repellency on various components in the aircraft and can be applied to other water/ice/snow prone components. The developed coating technology can also be applied to various commercial infrastructures including household, food, automobile, aviation, marine, oil and gas industries.
