Competitive advantage
- Broad experience designing complex fluid microstructures, their large-scale manufacture, and their performance on biological and synthetic targets.
- Versatile adaptation of existing technology and additives to create
- new-to-the-world functions like:
- Biomimetic particle shape-change and response in passive and
- active modes
- Delivery and adhesion to complex surfaces under extreme conditions
- Rapid technology functional adaption from rare compounds to approved additives
Successful applications
- First artificial vernix for prevention of premature infant skin infections
- Responsive materials for biological tissue targeting in respiratory therapy and hair follicle fungus
Capabilities and facilities
- Microrheological measures for tiny volumes, small samples, and miniscule mechanical properties
- Microfluidic production of prototype materials and their performance testing
- High speed studies of droplet impacts and flow
