Smart low interfacial toughness coatings for on-demand de-icing without melting
Removing ice from surfaces typically requires melting. Nonetheless, authors demonstrate a smart low interfacial toughness coating integrated with underlying heaters and ice-detecting microwave sensors that enable energy efficient smart large-scale de-icing without melting.
