Fluid dynamic surfaces and coatings are in high demand in various industries such as food, cosmetics and paper production. While flow optimization is achieved by bio-mimicking structured surfaces, durable antimicrobial and hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties can only be achieved through additional coatings. This poses the challenge of addressing the sophisticated functionality of the surface appropriate to the end-use while reducing raw material use and saving energy for its application. The substitution of fossil resources, energy-efficient use and recyclability of the end products are also goals of sustainable development, the circular economy, and the European Green Deal.
