Magnetic Slippery Extreme Icephobic Surfaces
Dr. Hadi Ghasemi and his team have invented better than state-of-the-art materials to repel ice. Ghasemi and his Ph.D. students created this video to showcase their work, which could be game-changing for driving or flying in icy conditions.
UH Cullen College Engineer Creates Better Than State-Of-The-Art Materials To Repel Ice
Enter Hadi Ghasemi, Bill D. Cook Assistant Professor of mechanical engineering at the UH Cullen College. Read the latest issue of the journal Nature Communications and you will discover what Ghasemi has just invented in his lab: a new magnetic slippery surface (MAGSS) that outperforms all other icephobic surfaces in use. Icephobicity is one of those words that make pretty good sense: It means the ability of a surface to repel - or become almost phobic about - ice.
The goal is to one day develop a spray that can be applied to any surface.
“We envision introducing these surfaces to the automobile industries, power transmission lines, transportation systems and all areas affected by icing,” Ghasemi said.
