The coatings have textures that could reduce the carbon footprint of the transport industry by lowering the drag of moving through air or water. In turn, vessels will consume less energy in propulsion. The team of physicists at the University of Surrey is now collaborating with six companies through funding from an EP-SRC Knowledge Transfer Account (KTA) in a project focused on developing ways for industrial manufacturers to use the process to create novel coatings for decorate household goods.
