Description
This project is a collaboration between Haydale Ltd, Thales and University of Bath. The aim of the project is to
assess the feasibility of employing graphene based polymer skins for sensing and deicing applications. The are
major issues associated with deicing are in aircarft, at airports, transmission power lines, instrumentation,
antenna masks, wind turbines and 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 to limit 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.
