Icing is a natural phenomenon that impacts various aspects of daily life and safety, including aeronautics, ground transportation, critical operations, power systems (like power lines, wind turbines, and solar panels), communication systems, and infrastructures. In particular, activities at high latitudes or altitudes require energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable ice protection solutions.
This book consolidates information on modeling, coating, material preparation, characterization, fabrication, and applications of anti-icing surfaces. It provides a comprehensive understanding of icephobic coating strategies and their industrial applications. Divided into two parts, it covers the theory and physics of icing and presents scientific advances from the SURFICE project, including industry case studies. It's a valuable resource for scientists and engineers interested in surface science and thermodynamics related to icing phenomena.
