In conventional studies, the ice adhesion force to a cooling metal surface was often measured in a macro-scale. However, the measured ice adhesion force to a metal surfaces in a macro-scale is an apparent value including a force to break the ice due to its metal surface’s unevenness, and it is not possible to measure the accurate ice adhesion force. Therefore, one of the authors developed the method to measure the accurate adhesion force in a nano-scale using Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM). In this study, the adhesion forces of ice made with the addition of cationic surfactant on a voltage-applied aluminum plate was measured while changing the applied voltage, and the effect of the applied voltage and the surfactant on the ice adhesion force was clarified.
