Abstract:Release-based extremely low ice adhesion strength and durable anti-icing coatings were designed and realized by loading mesoporous silica particles (MSP) into SBS polymer matrix and filling poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the anti-icing agent into MSP/SBS composites. This approach allows the formation of a thin lubricating liquid layer of PEG and water at the ice/composite interface at sub-zero temperatures and results in ice adhesion strengths as low as 3 kPa. The high specific surface area of MSP (428 m2 g-1)… Show more
