This project aims to provide new insights into liquid flow and adsorption at liquid/solid and liquid/liquid interfaces, by using a combination of theoretical predictions, nanoscale techniques and nanofabrication approaches. Expected outcomes are the development of liquid-repellent slippery surface coatings that reduce hydrodynamic drag and inhibit marine fouling. This will benefit the fields of advanced manufacturing and smart coatings, and will underpin a wide range of energy efficient processes and products. Slippery coatings will solve urgent environmental problems of social value by improving the energy and chemical efficiency in fluid flow, heat transfer, secondary oil recovery, microfluidics, and anti-fouling.

该项目旨在通过使用理论预测，纳米技术和纳米纤维方法的组合，为液体/固体和液体/液体界面的液体流动和吸附提供新的见解。预期成果是开发出可减少流体阻力并抑制海洋污垢的拒液光滑表面涂层。这将有利于先进制造和智能涂料领域，并将支持广泛的节能工艺和产品。滑动涂层将通过提高流体流动、传热、二次采油、微流体和防污方面的能源和化学效率来解决具有社会价值的紧迫环境问题。
