Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention include a pagophobic coating assembly including a wick layer coupled an outer layer. The wick layer includes a fluid reservoir with an antifreeze material. The wick can be a hydrophilic or superhydrophilic material, and the outer layer can include a superhydrophobic or omniphobic material. In some embodiments, the wick includes a nylon-based polymer, and the outer layer includes a silicone or siloxane based polymer. In some embodiments of the invention, the antifreeze material includes an alkylene glycol. In some embodiments, the wick layer can enable the antifreeze material to migrate from the wick layer into the outer layer, and the outer layer is configured to enable the antifreeze to migrate to the upper surface of the outer layer. Some embodiments include an article of manufacture including the pagophobic coating assembly. Some further embodiments of the invention include a method of forming the pagophobic coating assembly.
