Abstract
The disclosure herein provides an active anti-ice coating, which is capable of releasing an anti-ice agent, which includes anti-ice agent reservoirs, which are embedded in a UV curable matrix material, for providing an effective anti-ice coating with an active anti-ice agent release over a long period of time.
Claims13
An active anti-ice coating for releasing an anti-ice agent, wherein the anti-ice coating comprises a plurality of anti-ice agent reservoirs which are embedded in a UV curable matrix material, wherein each of the plurality of anti-ice agent reservoirs comprises an additional UV curable material in which the anti-ice liquid is captured or embedded.
A method for producing an anti-ice coating material for forming an anti-ice coating, the method comprising:
- a) providing a liquid photopolymerizable matrix material;
- b) providing an anti-ice agent, wherein providing an anti-ice agent comprises synthesizing a UV curable gel which contains anti-ice liquid;
- and
- c) introducing the anti-ice agent into the liquid photopolymerizable matrix material.
