The use of multiple horizon optimization for vehicle dynamics and powertrain control of a vehicle is provided. Long horizon optimization for a trip of the vehicle is performed, and an optimal value function is determined. Data is received from powertrain and/or connectivity features from one or more of components of the vehicle. Short horizon optimization for the trip is performed using a rollout algorithm, the optimal value function, and the received data. The operation of the vehicle is adjusted using results of the short horizon optimization.

An electrically conductive coating composition is provided for use on aircraft and other substrate surfaces to prevent the formation of ice or to melt ice. The conductive coating composition may include a nanomaterial such as carbon nanotubes dispersed in a solvent which may be applied to a substrate surface to form a thin film which is resistively heatable. The conductive coating may also comprise a nanomaterial formed from carbon nanotubes or fullerenes grafted to a polymer containing an active functional group which renders a substrate surface icephobic and is also resistively heatable.

The invention provides for production of nanoparticles dispersed in polymers where the nanoparticles include metals and metal oxides/sulfides that provide enhanced properties (e.g. higher refractive index) to the material. The nanoparticles are typically formed in situ within the polymer. Typically the nanoparticles are in the form of nanocrystals.
