Funded Activity Summary

Nanofluid stickiness will transform the Energy and Biotechnology Industries. This project aims to determine how minuscule particles behave on surfaces with different nano-architecture. Modern technologies already use nanodecorated materials to lubricate engines or capture tumour cells. Yet, their potential in applications for sustainable catalysis, gas treatment or water splitting cannot be realised until we understand how nano-objects adsorb to surfaces with features of comparable size. The expected outcomes include new methods, models and a workable map of protein adsorption allowing us to 1) create advanced substrates for targeted applications and 2) understand existing phenomenon governed by naturally occurring nanoroughness. It will benefit manufacturing in fields ranging from biology to energy production.
