- Additional information
- This first demonstration of a simple to apply flexible/conformable carbon nanoparticle coated (superhydrophobic soot) membrane reducing drag by 30% compared to a smooth surface led to the subsequent EPSRC award of a drag reduction research programme on lubricated tubes and channel flow (EP/L026899/1, EP/L026341/1 and EP/L026619/1 with Schlumberger PLC and Reece Innovation Ltd as industrial project partners). It also informed invited book chapter 9 "Wetting Properties of Surfaces and Drag Reduction" in "Non-wettable Surfaces: Theory, Preparation and Applications", Royal Society of Chemistry, Ed. Ras and Marmur, 2016; DOI: 10.1039/9781782623953).
