Ice formation on aircraft, wind turbines and power lines is a major cost to industry and an ongoing cause of fatal air crashes and accidents from ice-shedding. Current ice-mitigation technologies rely on mechanical breaking of the ice, electrical heating or application of de-icing chemicals. These are expensive, inefficient, unreliable, and damaging to the environment. The aim of the ICEMART project is to develop a novel passive ice-repellent coating that will prevent ice formation and adhesion without the need for active ice-management. This development will have far-reaching impact across a wide range of sectors, including aviation and energy where it could save hundreds of lives, eliminate the discharge of over 100 million litres of aircraft de-icing fluid, contribute to annual savings of £7bn in fuel and 80Mtonnes of CO2 from aviation and improve wind generation efficiency by 17%. ICEMART technology is based on a novel patented technique for obtaining multi-functional additives that can be incorporated into coating resins making them highly repellent to water and ice, whilst providing a tough and durable coating.

飞机、风力涡轮机和电力线上的结冰是工业的主要成本，也是致命空难和冰脱落事故的持续原因。目前的缓冰技术依赖于机械破冰、电加热或使用除冰化学品。这些都是昂贵的，低效的，不可靠的，并破坏环境。ICEMART项目的目的是开发一种新型的被动防冰涂层，该涂层将防止冰的形成和粘附，而无需主动冰管理。这一发展将对包括航空和能源在内的广泛领域产生深远的影响，它可以挽救数百人的生命，消除超过1亿升飞机除冰液的排放，每年为航空节省70亿英镑的燃料和8000万吨二氧化碳，并将风力发电效率提高17%。ICEMART技术基于一种获得多功能添加剂的新型专利技术，该添加剂可掺入涂料树脂中，使其高度防水和防冰，同时提供坚韧耐用的涂层。
