RECAN

Objectives:

The main objective of this project is the development of an ultrahydrophobic coating that prevents the accumulation of ice and snow on metallic structures.

Description:

The activities performed during the project have generated knowledge on the surface modification of nanoparticles together with the development of ultrahydrophobic coatings. Together with small-scale development of coatings, larger projects with companies from different sectors can now be carried out. Thanks to this project, aircraft manufacturers will have a product at their disposal that will reduce costs by replacing heavy anti-icing systems with lighter options.
