The adhesion of ice to a low energy surface film on a rigid base is greatly reduced when a flexible sponge rubber substrate is present between the surface and the base. An inexpensive coating based on readily available materials which shows promise of improving the ice-shedding characteristics of helicopter rotor blades has been proposed for practical trials; it is capable of further development to obtain optimum properties.
