Durable Low‐Interfacial Toughness PDMS/SiO2 Coatings with Superior Anti‐Icing and Large‐Scale Deicing Performance in the Natural Field (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 16/2025)

Anti-Icing and Deicing Coatings In article 2500206, Yuan Yuan, Ruijin Liao, and co-workers present a PDMS/SiO2 coating with low interfacial toughness for anti-icing and large-scale deicing. Field tests show that the coating delays ice formation, reduces ice adhesion, and facilitates efficient ice shedding, while maintaining excellent durability, making it ideal for large-scale deicing on wind turbine blades.
