- This work introducing a new concept to manipulate/position droplets on super-slippery lubricant impregnated surfaces was recognised in Keynotes at the European Colloid and Interface Society (Madrid, Spain 6/9/2017) and the 4th International Conference on Biobased and BioInspired Chemistry & Materials (Nice, France 16/10/2018), and invited talks at XXVI International Materials Research Congress (Cancun, Mexico 24/8/2017) and a CECAM workshop (Lausanne, Switzerland, 2017). Subsequently, QuantuMDx Ltd awarded an industrial scoping contract to test the feasibility of creating these types of slippery coatings in their microfluidic devices, which then became a KTP (Ref:1024573 - "Smart coatings for microfluidic medical devices", £92k).
