Abstract
Traditional anti-icing coatings suffer from issues of non-durability in anti-icing performance and the generation of volatile organic compounds during the coating process. In this study, durable and organic-solvent-free anti-icing coatings were prepared based on polyacrylate grafted with hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PAC-PDMSx). The PAC-PDMSx is prepared by emulsion polymerization of acrylate monomer and acrylate mono-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (M-PDMS), without the involvement of organic solvents. The higher the content of M-PDMS, the better the anti-icing performance of the PAC-PDMSx coating. Meanwhile, the anti-icing performance of the coating demonstrates good durability during the icing/deicing cycle and environmental aging. The ice adhesion strength of PAC-PDMSx is reduced to 11 kPa after 100 icing/de-icing cycles and 17 kPa after simulated environmental aging for 504 hours, while the initial value is 25 kPa. This study provides a promising environmentally-friendly passive de-icing coating with durable anti-icing performance for practical applications.
