The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year Project Grant of $369,499 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania from September 2021 through August 2024 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
The grant funds research on interfacial freezing and shape transformations in surfactant/particle-co-stabilized emulsions. Specifically, the University of Pennsylvania will conduct experiments and analysis to improve understanding of freezing dynamics at fluid interfaces and how particle-surfactant mixtures impact freezing and shape changes. Insights gained from this research could enable development of new materials with tailored properties through control of freezing processes. The project aligns with the NSF Engineering program's goals of advancing innovation in engineering fields through support of fundamental research. All work will be performed at the University's facilities in Philadelphia.
