 | | A new project, named SURFICE, has been funded by the European Community in the frame of the Marie Skłodowska Curie European Training Network. 13 early stage researchers will be hired on this project to work in different university locations.
The project will address three major research objectives: (i) investigate icing physics on complex surfaces to understand and model ice formation, accretion and adhesion; (ii) achieve rational design for anti-icing materials and coatings based on a novel concept of discontinuity-enhanced icephobicity; and (iii) develop new technologies for efficient ice prevention and control. The proposed anti-icing solutions will be directly applied in aeronautics, energy systems and sensor technologies, as well as glass manufacturing and automotive industry through industrial partners. The group of Anna Maria Coclite will work on the second objective.
