Effects of Discontinuous Thermal Conductivity of a Substrate Surface on Ice Adhesion Strength

This study proposes a novel anti-icing model in which silicone rubber with low thermal conductivity is coated at different positions on a material surface to change the continuity of the thermal conductivity of the surface. During the test, the surfaces of aluminum alloy and polymethyl methacrylate...
