The main objectives of this project are to attain a deep insight into the effects of the micro and nanotopography of functional/structured surfaces on the performances in terms of mechanical and tribological properties, including nanofriction, nanohardness, and self-cleaning, and to establish the key enabling techniques for design and fabricate the micro/nano-features or topography in non-biological materials with controllable wettability, adhesion, and reflectivity properties. Based on the research objectives and methodologies of the project the proposed work plan is:
