Frost-Resistant and Icephobic Coatings Likely to be a Longer-Lasting Alternative to Conventional Deicers

Airports are extremely busy, particularly in the winter. When planes need to be dowsed with thousands of gallons of deicing fluids to help them combat the frigid winter, delays increase and passengers wait to board. However, as soon as the plane takes off, the majority of the liquid is ejected from the plane’s surface, causing pollution of freshwater streams and lakes.
