Embodiments provide ice adhesion mitigating surface coatings and methods for generating the same. Embodiments may provide anti-icing coating with at least one monomeric species exhibiting molecular flexibility. The molecular flexibility in the monomeric species may be imparted through an aliphatic or heteroaliphatic chain that may exist as a portion of the monomer backbone, as a pendant group, or as both the portion of the monomer backbone and the pendant group. In various embodiments epoxy coatings including an epoxy resin and an amine-terminated hardener may be generated. At least a portion of the amine-terminated hardener may include at least a monomeric species that exhibits molecular flexibility arising from an aliphatic chain or heteroaliphatic chain that may be within the polymer backbone and/or may persist as a pendant group.
本发明实施例提供了减轻冰附着的表面涂层以及生成这种涂层的方法。本发明实施例可提供具有至少一种表现出分子柔性的单体种类的防冰涂层。单体种类中的分子柔韧性可通过脂族或杂脂族链赋予,脂族或杂脂族链可作为单体骨架的一部分、作为悬垂基团或作为单体骨架的一部分和悬垂基团而存在。在不同的实施方案中,可以生成包括环氧
树脂和胺封端固化剂的环氧涂料。胺封端固化剂的至少一部分可包括至少一种单体,该单体可在聚合物主链内和/或作为悬垂基团存在的脂肪族链或杂脂族链上表现出分子柔性。
