By contrasting the ideal cases with reality, we arrive at the desired surface characteristics for the easy shedding of surface ice. Finally, in Section 1.4 we looked at the friction of solid surfaces sliding on ice from the point of view of the important liquid-like lubricating layer. In doing so, we have identified the important parameters which affect the thickness of ice’s liquid-like layer, and thus the force of friction.
We end this chapter by making one final important note. The diligent reader will have noticed that the conclusions of engineering surfaces in Sections 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 are not mutually exclusive. It is not beyond reason to imagine a surface which can suppress the nucleation of ice via appropriate nanostructuring as well as easily shed ice via appropriate microstructuring.
