Abstract

Techniques preventing icing and ice accumulation on surfaces are required to solve snow- and ice-induced accidents and disasters. Recently, hydrophilic polymers have attracted attention as a passive anti-icing method. This study examined the ice-adhesion properties of the hydrophilic poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PPEGMA) concentrated polymer brush (CPB). A custom-built apparatus was developed to obtain the ice-adhesion strength and visualize the dynamics of the ice-adhesion interface under tangential loading. The ice-adhesion interface for a PPEGMA-CPB-coated glass substrate was investigated by comparing it with the bare glass substrate. As a result, the CPB exhibited a low ice-adhesion strength of less than 100 kPa, the dependencies of which on the drive speed and temperature indicate a high-viscous liquid-like layer at the interface, even below the melting point of water, leading to the smooth onset of sliding due to its self-lubricity without any rupture events (including precursory events) observed for the bare glass.

切向加载下冰-粘附界面的原位观测：亲水性 PPEGMA 聚合物刷的抗冰机制

要解决冰雪引发的事故和灾难，就必须采用防止表面结冰和积冰的技术。最近，亲水性聚合物作为一种被动防冰方法引起了人们的关注。本研究考察了亲水性聚[聚（乙二醇）甲基醚甲基丙烯酸酯]（PPEGMA）浓缩聚合物刷（CPB）的附冰性能。为了获得冰粘附强度并观察切向加载下冰粘附界面的动态变化，开发了一种定制仪器。通过与裸玻璃基底进行比较，研究了涂有 PPEGMA-CPB 的玻璃基底的冰粘界面。结果表明，CPB 的冰粘强度较低，小于 100 kPa，其与驱动速度和温度的相关性表明，在界面上有一个高粘度液态层，甚至低于水的熔点，由于其自润滑特性，滑动开始时非常平稳，没有发生裸玻璃上观察到的任何破裂事件（包括前兆事件）。
