Call for papers: 2nd International Workshop on Plasticity, Damage and Fracture of Engineering Materials (Online)
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the 2nd International Workshop on Plasticity, Damage and Fracture of Engineering Materials, which will take place online organized from Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey on 18-20 August 2021.
Anti-icing propylene-glycol materials
Dear fellow iMechanicians,
Here is our recent paper published in EML on novel anti-icing materials based on propylene-glycol (PG) gels. This work was performed in collaboration with Xi Yao, Baohong Chen and myself while working in Zhigang Suo's lab at Harvard, and provides new solutions for anti-icing purposes (i.e. throug blankets design) without large and costly release of PG in the environment.
