Super-icephobic surfaces to prevent ice formation on aircraft

PHOBIC2ICE将开发技术和预测模拟工具，以避免或减轻飞机上的结冰，这是飞机的一个重大问题。飞机结构上的积冰对飞机的安全性(因为飞行仅限于某些大气条件或配备了经认证的防冰技术的飞机)和可持续性(增加空气动力阻力，从而增加燃料消耗)都构成了挑战。目前已有多种防冰技术投入使用，但大多存在能耗高、重量大、环境影响大、成本高、重复使用频繁等问题。PHOBIC2ICE将创建一套创新的表面工程解决方案来减少或消除结冰，包括开发和评估结冰模拟工具；使用绿色制造工艺的新型保护涂层；以及检测飞机上开始结冰的传感器。

PHOBIC2ICE will develop technologies and predictive simulation tools to avoid or mitigate the accretion of ice on aircraft, a significant problem for aircraft. Accretion of ice on aerostructures poses challenges for both aircraft security (as flying is restricted to only certain atmospheric conditions or to aircraft equipped with certified anti-icing technologies) and sustainability (by increasing the aerodynamic drag and thus increasing fuel burn). Several ice protection technologies are presently in use, however most of them have inherent negative effects such as high energy consumption, weight, environmental impact, high costs, and frequent reapplication need among others. PHOBIC2ICE will create a suite of innovative surface engineering solutions to reduce or eliminate ice accretion, including the development and evaluation of ice accretion simulation tools; novel protective coatings using green manufacturing processes; and sensors to detect the onset of ice formation on aircraft.
