Icephobic performance of low-ice adhesion polymeric coatings has been studied intensively for passive ice protection. However, limited efforts were conducted to identify strategies for enhancing the durability of the coatings to maintain low ice adhesion after erosion impact. In this work, we developed and investigated several polyurethane-based nanocomposite and fibre-reinforced coatings to understand the deteriorating behaviour of the coatings under rigorous impinging erosion tests and the subsequent impact on ice adhesion. The inclusion of fillers resulted in up to 38 points increase in Shore hardness relative to the pristine PU coatings......
