A Novel Solution for Icy Roads
Our Goal
Our goal is to address the problem of icy roads by introducing a novel approach based on the properties perfected by nature over millions of years of evolution. Using biomimicry and hydrophobic properties of flora/fauna, we intend to find unique ways to improve the design of our road surfaces to reduce icy conditions, increase friction, and improve vehicle stability.
The Future
Biomimetic surfaces are not science fiction anymore.
These surfaces designed to imitate nature and adapted by nature to protect themselves will transform the following
climate-ready infrastructure and industries:
-
Self cleaning surfaces that reduce need for chemicals
-
Anti ice surfaces and self-repairing roads
-
Air and water filtration
-
Smart textures for medicine, infection-resistant
