| Abstract | This project is a collaboration between Haydale Ltd, Thales and University of Bath. The aim of the project is to assess thefeasibility of employing graphene based polymer skins for sensing and deicing applications. The are major issuesassociated with deicing are in aircarft, at airports, transmission power lines, instrumentation, antenna masks, wind turbinesand the exploration of cold environments (e.g. oil and gas). Such a sensing surface can be integrated with thermally active(shape changing) structures to achieve structural deflection for combined thermal-mechanical de-icing. The opportunity tolimit the extent of ice build-up on structures has broad application opportunities and enable light weight structures with reduced material costs and fuel saving for mobile applications and improved performance for instrumentation | |
