Anti-Icing Performance of Hydrophobic Silicone–Acrylate Resin Coatings on Wind Blades

The icing of wind blades poses a serious threat to the operation of wind turbines. The application of superhydrophobic coatings on wind blades can serve as a potential anti-icing method. This study presents the findings of simulations of the icing environment of wind blades coated with hydrophobic s...
