Understand\"\"<\/a>ing the basic physics and chemistry behind immobilized liquid layer is essential to ultimately understanding how they will interact with biological systems. Using a combination of spectroscopic , chromatographic, and visualization techniques, we work to understand how relevant perturbations affect the integrity and functioning of these materials. We also examine how these fundamentals can be applied to create a novel approach to antifouling.<\/p>\n
