SURFACE AND INTERFACIAL ENGINEERING

We apply the principles of surface and interfacial engineering to materials processing, fabrication, modification, and recycling.

Our research experience includes:

Wetting, Spreading and Adhesion Phenomena

Fabrication of Hydrophobic Coatings and Self-Assembled Molecular Structures on Metals and Minerals

Surface Force Measurements in Colloidal Systems and their Relevance to Particle Separation Technologies

Flotation of Minerals (including coal)

De-inking Flotation of Waste Paper

Plastics Recycling

Water Processing of Oil Sands/Oil-Contaminated Soil; Separation of Dispersed Oil from Water and Waste Water; Extraction of Dispersed Oil from Water in Analytical Systems; Oil Spill Clean-Up with Sorbents
