Summary on Grant Application Form |
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.
