History of Contact Angles
The first and only one review on history of contact angles was prepared by a team of international experts led by Prof. Drelich. The contact angle is one of the most sensitive experimental values describing a junction between three phases, … Read More »NIH R15 Grant
Our close collaborator Prof. Jeremy Goldman from the Biomedical Engineering program has been awarded with the NIH R15 grant entitled Inhibition of Neointimal Hyperplasia by Zinc-based Biodegradable Arterial Devices. This two-year project, to which Prof. Jaroslaw Drelich serves as Co-PI, … Read More »Correcting Contact Angles
A new review on contact angles from SURFI team has been published in the Advances in Colloid and Interface Science journal, entitled Contact Angles: From Past Mistakes to New Developments through Liquid-Solid Adhesion Measurements. A contact angle observed for a … Read More » |
Bioabsorbable Stents We search for new biodegradable alloys that could revolutionize cardiovascular stent industry. |
 |
Antibacterial Materials We invented new inexpensive antibacterial material and explore its potential applications in water filtration, food packaging, and many others. |
 |
RHX Ceramic Dating We study the rates of rehydration and rehydroxylation processes for fired clay-based ceramics as a tool for dating ceramic archeological artifacts. |
 |
Smart Surfaces We architecture nanostructures, nanotubes, and molecular layers to control wetting or other properties of surfaces. |
 |
Mineral and Materials Processing We have a long tradition of development and testing physical separation technologies for selective recovery of minerals from ores, plastics from waste, and cellulose fibers from wastepaper. |
