Abstract
A method of fabricating a surface for reducing ice adhesion surface which includes providing a surface of a cured material and impacting the surface of the cured material with a pressurized jet of a fluid material to plastically deform the cured material to enable the surface to reduce ice adhesion strength on the surface.
Claims21
A method of fabricating a surface for reducing ice adhesion strength comprising:
- providing a surface of a cured material;
- and
- impacting the surface of the cured material with a pressurized jet of a fluid material.
(canceled)
A method of fabricating a surface for reducing ice adhesion strength comprising:
- providing a surface of a cured material, the providing comprising:
- applying a coating of a curable material onto a substrate, the coating of curable material having a surface and the cured material having a glass transition temperature;
- and
- curing the coating of curable material;
- and
- impacting the surface of the cured material with a pressurized jet of a fluid material, wherein a temperature of the pressurized jet of fluid material is below the glass transition temperature of the cured material.
