Ice build-up on solid surfaces can cause economic losses for industries. Developing coatings with low ice adhesion strength, such as the amphiphilic poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)-based surfaces, can be a solution. This study designed well-defined triblock copolymers with PIL segments that have anti-icing properties. The coatings showed a low ice adhesion strength, and the mechanisms for deicing were studied. This work provides a new approach for exploring PIL-based icephobic coatings.
Ice build-up on solid surfaces causes significant economic losses for a range of industries. One solution to this problem is the development of coatings with low ice adhesion strength. Amphiphilic poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)-based surfaces have been recently reported for antifogging/antifrosting applications. However, they have possible anti-icing properties through lowering the ice adhesion strength that have yet to be reported. Herein, we designed well-defined triblock copolymers composed of a polydimethylsiloxane component coupled with PIL segments of poly([2 (methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride) (PMETAC), which were subsequently UV-cured with an oligo(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (OEGDMA) cross-linker. The structure-property relationships of the resultant semi -interpenetrating polymer networks (SIPNs) were investigated by varying the counterion (i.e., trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI-)) and the content of the PIL segments and cross-linker. An ice adhesion strength as low as 13.3 +/- 8.6 kPa was observed for the coating containing 12.5 wt % of PMETAC segment and 5 wt % of OEGDMA, which is one of the lowest values reported so far for the amphiphilic coatings. Characterization of the coatings in terms of surface features, wettability, and hydration states have enabled the elucidation of different deicing mechanisms. Self-lubrication due to the existence of nonfreezable bound water led to the obtained low ice adhesion strength. This work offers a new approach for the exploration of PILbased icephobic coatings for practical applications.
