| book description |

This book fills the gap in the field of anti-icing byÂ providing a comprehensive introduction to anti-icing materials andÂ their technology. Additionally, the contents are important guidance forÂ researchers, engineers, and graduate and undergraduate students.Â Icing can cause malfunctions or serious performance degradation inÂ outdoor facilities, such as transportation and energy equipment, resultingÂ in significant economic losses and even loss of life. With the rapidÂ development of the aviation and renewable energy industries, minimizingÂ anti-icing has become an urgent scientific problem worldwide. Traditional thermal and mechanical de-icing methods are used to preventÂ or inhibit ice formation, but they consume a huge amount of energy.Â Therefore, it is necessary to develop new passive anti-icing technologies.Â In the last decade, icephobic materials have received increasing attentionÂ as commonly used passive anti-icing materials.Â
