ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a composition comprising a polymer and methods of using the composition to increase the traction of an article of manufacture on an icy surface. The polymer can be a silicate polymer, a plancheite-derived polymer, a pinacol polymer, an indanol polymer, a phenol polymer, or an m-xylylene polymer.
