Introduces fundamental and applied aspects of interfacial systems. The course covers theory of capillarity, interfacial tensions, Laplace pressure, curvature effects on the equilibrium states of fluids, surfactants, fundamentals of wetting and contact angle, adhesion, cohesion, and spreading, superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity. Relevant research fields are be introduced, including oil-water separation, electronics cooling, condensation, and bio-inspired functional surfaces.
