Icephobicity of a surface is determined by the shear stress between the substrate and the adhered ice. Various techniques exist to measure surface icephobicity. One effective method involves applying a shear force to an ice cube formed on the surface to measure the maximum force required to detach it. The Ice Adhesion Test Machine is a device that applies this shear force, measures the shear stress between the ice and the surface, operates under specified temperature and humidity conditions, and analyzes the results using integrated software.
