Designing durable icephobic surfaces.
Ice accretion has a negative impact on critical infrastructure, as well as a range of commercial and residential activities. Icephobic surfaces are defined by an ice adhesion strength τice < 100 kPa. However, the passive removal of ice requires much lower values of τice, such as on airplane wings or power lines (τice < 20 kPa). Such low τice values are scarcely reported, and robust coatings tha...
متن کاملDurable and scalable icephobic surfaces: similarities and distinctions from superhydrophobic surfaces.
Formation, adhesion, and accumulation of ice, snow, frost, glaze, rime, or their mixtures can cause severe problems for solar panels, wind turbines, aircrafts, heat pumps, power lines, telecommunication equipment, and submarines. These problems can decrease efficiency in power generation, increase energy consumption, result in mechanical and/or electrical failure, and generate safety hazards. T...
متن کاملHydrate-phobic surfaces: fundamental studies in clathrate hydrate adhesion reduction.
Clathrate hydrate formation and subsequent plugging of deep-sea oil and gas pipelines represent a significant bottleneck for deep-sea oil and gas operations. Current methods for hydrate mitigation are expensive and energy intensive, comprising chemical, thermal, or flow management techniques. In this paper, we present an alternate approach of using functionalized coatings to reduce hydrate adhe...

and distribution system, approximately 70 to 90 percent of the energy used is for pumping. With the rising cost of electricity, more municipalities are searching for technologies to improve operational efficiency. One method for improving the efficiency of pumps is to line the pumps with a polymeric coating system. Polymeric systems have been shown to provide increased flow at the desired press...
متن کاملCorrosion Sensing Smart Polymeric Coatings
Smart materials cover a wide and developing range in engineering & medical application. This paper presents the “Stimuli-sensitive/smart” polymeric systems which can overcome dramatic property changes responding to small changes in its surrounding environment. Here there is a corrosion resistant or protective smart polymeric coating and paints have been described. Additional smart-coating princ...
