Cwiertny contributes to $9M Dept. of Defense project studying grime-resistant materials

Monday, September 30, 2024
David Cwiertny, University of Iowa's William D. Ashton Professor of Civil Engineering, is part of a research team studying how “grime” forms and evolves on solid surfaces, such as bridge beams, plane wings, solar panels, plant leaves, indoor surfaces, and more. The work could lead to improved approaches for designing new materials and coatings that can resist film forming, be easily and completely cleaned, or be covered by a beneficial film.
