Surface Energy in Industry: Applications from Pharmaceuticals to Aerospace

Surface energy is a critical concept that lies at the intersection of materials science and physics, playing a vital role in a plethora of industrial applications. Defined as the excess energy at the surface of a material compared to its bulk, surface energy influences how materials interact with their environments. This property governs wetting, adhesion, and other key processes, making it essential in numerous sectors, including pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and beyond. Researchers at York University’s Surface Engineering Research group, led by experts like Alidad Amirfazli, have made significant contributions to the…
