Abstract
A set of simple experiments indicated that water drops can penetrate through a grease layer and make “real” contact with the substrate, then spread over the surface, depending on the surface energy of the substrate, increasing the “real” contact area. Furthermore the ice/substrate bond is stronger than ice itself. The complex problem of ice adhesion may be explainable by combination of these findings in that the “real” contact area multiplied by the strength of ice within the area constitute the apparent adhesive strength. Conceivable effects of various factors are discussed.
