- Hydrophobicity is a new area of soil mechanics gaining momentum, as evidenced by current EPSRC portfolio. New method developed during Saulick's PhD, co-supervised by Baudet with Lourenço, to solve the problem of repeatability in measurements of contact angle, a critical parameter when looking at hydrophobicity but also with application to microscopy measurements e.g. mercury intrusion porosimetry. Cited in wide-ranging journals: Powder Technology, Journal of Hydrology, Physical Review E. Strong potential to be used as reference for contact angle measurement. This led to a research grant by Hong Kong research grant council (Baudet: co-I).
