NICEDROPS | Precise and smart nanoengineered surfaces: Impact resistance, icephobicity and dropwise condensation

Summary
Water freezing (icing) and condensation are ubiquitous in our life. Preventing undesirable icing on surfaces with minimal energy and chemical use, and improving the efficiency of condensation heat exchangers has broad societal value. Thus, I aim to use fundamental insights to offer energy-efficient solutions for undesirable ice formation and promoting dropwise condensation using novel and robust nanoengineered surfaces. My objectives are:

i) to realise thermodynamically guided metallic surfaces with precise (
