Abstract

A technique for assessing adhesion of ice is described. A composition for anti-icing coatings is proposed. The composition includes silicone resin and filler – Aerosil. The results of comparative tests of adhesion of ice to a super hydrophobic and hydrophilic surface are presented. It is shown that adhesion of ice values depend on temperature and test conditions. It is established that the technique for estimating ice under lateral constraint conditions gives overestimated results of adhesion values. The presence of an anti-icing coating on the surface reduces adhesion of ice by 2-4 times. The increase in test temperature leads to a significant decrease in ice adhesion.
