Abstract

An ice-phobic gummed tape (IPGT) is fabricated by designing nano-cones (NCs) on poly(vinylidene fluoride) microspheres on a flexible thin film. The IPGT with NCs exhibits excellent ice-phobic and de-ice properties that are attributed to effective cooperation between the micro- and nanostructure compared to other materials. This investigation is significant for materials that can be extended into practical applications.
