The University of Texas at Tyler received a $199,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), awarded September 1, 2026, with completion targeted for August 31, 2028. This Engineering Research for Innovation (ERI) award funds the development of a scalable meniscus-guided blade coating process to create uniform, ordered silica nanoparticle patterns on aluminum and high-density polyethylene surfaces. The research will integrate these patterns with fluorine-free surface treatments to produce superhydrophobic (water-repellent) coatings that overcome current limitations in manufacturing cost, complexity, and durability. By systematically optimizing coating parameters—including coating speed, particle concentration, solvent composition, temperature, humidity, and substrate surface conditions—the project will generate technical insights applicable to water-repellent coating design for biomedical, aerospace, and energy sector applications. Beyond core research deliverables, the award supports workforce development through research training for undergraduate and graduate students and includes STEM outreach activities for high school students in grades 10–12. This integrated approach aligns with NSF's mission to advance engineering innovation while building the Nation's future engineering workforce through education and professional formation initiatives.Federal Grant Award Summary
