Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An anti-icing coating is provided having low interfacial toughness (LIT) with ice. The anti-icing coating includes a polymer and a plasticizing agent. A thickness of the anti-icing coating may be less than or equal to about 100 micrometers (μm). Further, the anti-icing coating has an interfacial toughness (Γice) with ice of less than or equal to about 1 J/m2. Such an anti-icing coating may be applied to a substrate or surface of a device on which ice may form, such as aircraft, vehicles, marine vessels, outdoor equipment, snow or ice removal equipment, recreational equipment, wind turbines, telecommunications equipment, power lines, and the like. Methods of forming such anti-icing coatings are also provided.
