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.

该项目旨在确定微小颗粒在具有不同纳米结构的表面上的行为。现代技术已经使用纳米装饰材料来润滑发动机或捕获肿瘤细胞。然而，在我们了解纳米物体如何吸附到具有类似尺寸的表面之前，它们在可持续催化、气体处理或水分解方面的应用潜力是无法实现的。预期的结果包括新的方法、模型和可行的蛋白质吸附图谱，使我们能够1)为有针对性的应用创造先进的基质，2)理解由自然产生的纳米粗糙度控制的现有现象。它将使从生物到能源生产等领域的制造业受益。
