Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Ice accumulation poses significant risks to aviation, energy, transportation, and telecommunications infrastructure.
  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are advanced nanomaterials with unique thermal, electrical, and surface properties suitable for ice-prevention coatings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the integration of pristine and modified CNTs in anti-icing and deicing coatings from 2016-2025.
  • To analyze the relationship between CNT surface characteristics and coating performance.
  • To provide insights into developing durable, climate-resilient CNT-based ice mitigation technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Critical review of scientific literature on CNT-based anti-icing/deicing coatings (2016-2025).
  • Analysis of synthesis methods, surface engineering techniques, and performance metrics.
  • Application of Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSPs) to predict CNT-matrix compatibility and icephobic performance.

Main Results:

  • CNTs enable both passive (superhydrophobic) and active (photothermal, electrothermal) ice mitigation strategies.
  • Coating efficacy strongly correlates with the physicochemical properties of CNT surfaces.
  • HSPs serve as a valuable predictive tool for material selection and performance optimization.

Conclusions:

  • CNT-based coatings represent a promising avenue for advanced anti-icing and deicing solutions.
  • Understanding structure-function relationships is key to designing scalable and resilient technologies.
  • Future research should focus on synergistic design strategies for enhanced durability and climate resilience.
