The book containing 18 chapters is divided into three parts: Part 1: Fundamentals of Ice Formation and Ice Characteristics, Part 2: Ice Adhesion and Its Measurement, and Part 3: Methods to Mitigate Ice Adhesion. The topics covered Include: Factors influencing the formation, adhesion and friction of ice, ice nucleation on solid surfaces, physics of ice nucleation and growth on a surface, condensation frosting, defrosting properties of structured surfaces, relationship between surface free energy and ice adhesion to surfaces, metrology of ice adhesion, test methods for quantifying ice adhesion strength to surfaces, interlaboratory studies of ice adhesion strength, mechanisms of surface icing and deicing technologies, anti-icing using microstructured surfaces, durability assessment of icephobic coatings, bio-inspired icephobic coatings, challenges in rational fabrication of icephobic surfaces, protection from ice accretion on aircraft, and numerical modeling and its application to inflight icing.
