Comparative study on the influence of surface characteristics on de-icing evaluation

Abstract A comparative study of de-icing evaluation methods was conducted in this work, and their variations response to surface characteristics were investigated. The mechanical measurements include centrifugal, push, tensile methods. centrifugal the horizontal push (shear) suggested a linear relationship ice adhesion strength with roughness, whereas (normal) method indicated an inverse curvilinear contact angle hysteresis. partial correlation hysteresis on shear-based also over specified range roughness. Further attempts made 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane-coated surfaces, clear reduction normal method, did not show considerable change adhesion, highlighting forces-centric response. Lastly, further using hybrid conducted, verify influence removal involving heating, which demonstrated energy consumption results obtained provide crucial information offer material-dependent correlations popular conclusions could be applied define appropriate testing for icephobic surfaces coatings.
