Abstract
Graphene, consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms, possesses properties that make it an ideal candidate for engineering anti-/de-icing systems. Its hydrophobicity and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity make it a desirable material for this purpose. The study investigated Spin Coated Graphene which displayed hydrophobicity (contact angle > 90) and excellent thermal conductivity. The study focused on using a Spin Coated Graphene sample to cover 15% of the naca12 airfoil model's leading edge while coating the remainder with a superhydrophobic material to develop an anti-/de-icing system. The results of the study indicate that with 3.5 kW/m3 of power input into the system, the model remained free of ice throughout the experiment.
