Researchers develop a new anti-icing polyurethane methacrylate coating

A new R&D effort focuses on the curing of urethane methacrylate coatings by UV exposure to facilitate the fabrication of high-performance, hydrophilic, anti-icing coatings. According to the latest report, high-performance hydrophilic anti-icing coatings with carboxyl groups are easily prepared by curing polyurethane methacrylate prepolymers with ultraviolet light. It is made of polyisophorone diisocyanate methacrylate (IPDI),…
