The Inhibition of Icing and Frosting on Glass Surfaces by the Coating of Polyethylene Glycol and Polypeptide Mimicking Antifreeze Protein

The development of anti-icing, anti-frosting transparent plates is important for many reasons, such as poor visibility through the ice-covered windshields of vehicles. We have fabricated new glass surfaces coated with polypeptides which mimic a part of winter flounder antifreeze protein. We adopted...
