Surface‐Anchored Microgel‐Based Films as Anti‐Icing Coatings
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The microgel‐based anti‐icing coatings presented in this work reduce ice adhesion by up to 90% on various substrates. This effect can be attributed to the incorporated functional cationic moieties binding a lubricating layer of quasi‐liquid interfacial water.
