An extremely chemical and mechanically durable siloxane bearing copolymer coating with self-crosslinkable and anti-icing properties

Efficient anti-icing techniques are of great implications in many fields of our society. In this work, multi-functional copolymers containing siloxane units are designed to prepare durable anti-icing coating. The presence of siloxane groups endows the copolymers with triggered self-crosslinking ability, strong self-adhesiveness and high structural stability in severe conditions, which further enhanced the mechanical/chemical durability of the...
