Icephobic Coating
Kevin Golovin, a graduate student in materials science and engineering at U-M, demonstrates a new rubbery material that can create ice repelling, or "icephobic," coatings on a variety of materials, such as windshields or ship hulls. In this photo, the "icephobic" coating was applied to the right half of a license plate, preventing ice from sticking to that half after being placed in a freezer. The research is being done under the direction of Anish Tuteja, an associate professor in U-M's Department of Materials Science & Engineering.
