Abstract EN

This paper describes the method of preparing strong hydrophobic polypyrrole (PPy) on wind turbine blades.

The water contact angle of strong hydrophobic PPy coatings was 127.2°.

The strong hydrophobic PPy coatings exhibited excellent anti-icing properties.

The maximum icing weight of strong hydrophobic PPy coating blade was almost 0.10 g while the maximum icing weight of no coating blade was found to be 26.13 g.

The maximum icing thickness of a strong hydrophobic PPy coating blade was only 1.08 mm.

The current research will provide a better technique to create anti-icing coatings on wind turbine blades and other outdoor equipment.
