Since aircraft icing will decrease the ability of aircraft to generate lift, it is significant to consider the aircraft deicing problem. The paper presents an aircraft deicing method based on the cracking of the ice layer caused by the large deformations of wings. To describe the deformation of wings, the absolute coordinate-based formulation is used. The aircraft with high aspect ratio wings is simplified as a hub-beam system. Such a rigid-flexible system with the fast rotation speed of hub and the large deformation of the beam is modeled using absolute coordinate-based formulation accurately. The maneuver of the rigid body will lead to the large deformation of wings to do the de-icing. Numerical examples are presented to reveal that the maximum tensile strength on the wing surface with sinusoidal control torques with some amplitudes and frequencies is larger than the ice's tensile strength. Hence, the proposed de-icing method based on the aircraft maneuvering is potential.

In this investigation, transparent photothermal coatings utilizing plasmonic copper chalcogenide (CuS) nanoparticles were designed and fabricated for the deicing of glass surfaces. CuS nanoparticles, chosen for their high near-infrared (NIR) absorption and efficient photothermal conversion, were analyzed via finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations to optimize nanoparticle morphology, thus avoiding costly trial-and-error synthesis. FDTD simulations determined that CuS nanorods (Cu-NRs) with an optimal aspect ratio of 2.

Superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted significant attention for their ability to prevent ice formation and facilitate deicing without requiring external energy. However, these surfaces are often vulnerable to damage from external forces, leading to functional failure due to poor mechanical stability, which limits their widespread use. Drawing inspiration from the hierarchical groove of rose petals and the micropapillae of lotus leaves, a simple laser-based method is proposed to create a superhydrophobic surface with a micro/nano hierarchical crater-like structure (HCLS).

Flexible electrothermal heaters have attracted abundant attention in recent years due to their wide applications, but their preparation with high efficiency remains a challenge. Here in this work, a highly stable and bending-tolerant flexible heater was fabricated with graphite nanosheets and cellulose fibers through a scalable papermaking procedure. Its electrothermal property can be enhanced by a hot-pressing treatment and introduction of cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) during the papermaking protocol.
