ACS Spring 2018: New Orleans
Dr. Golovin will be presenting at the ACS Spring 2018 meeting in New Orleans. His talk will be from 2:20 – 2:45 on Wednesday, March 21st, in La Galerie 4 (New Orleans Marriott Canal Street). He’ll be discussing the latest work on icephobic polymers, this publication. All are welcome! Students interested in joining Dr. Golovin’s group… Read more »
ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award
Prof. Golovin wins the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award from the University of Michigan. More information here: http://www.mse.engin.umich.edu/about/news/kevin-golovin-selected-to-receive-coveted-proquest-distinguished-dissertation-award-for-2017
Researcher Positions Available
The Golovin group is always looking for highly motivated students. If you are interested in joining the group, please send Dr. Golovin a cover letter and your CV, and let him know if you require funding. Postdoctoral scholars should also include a brief description of a potential project.
New publication!
Our framework on the design of icephobic surfaces using plasticized polymers has been published in Science Advances. Check it out here!
Autumn POSS
Here PDMS micro-pillars were sprayed with a blend of F-POSS and PDMS (see our publication on these type of surfaces). The resultant surfaces are superomniphobic. False coloured. Image courtesy of Dr. K. Golovin. University of Michigan Materials Science & Engineering calendar winning image, 2013.
Engrained in Science
The texture of roughened surfaces can be critical to their properties. Here a roughened Al surface is shown under SEM, which was used to reduce drag under turbulent flow. False coloured. Image courtesy of Dr. K. Golovin.
Blood-phobic
Superomniphobic surfaces are capable of repelling low surface tension liquids. Here, a superomniphobic aluminum surface (false coloured green) is shown under SEM repelling a droplet of silicone oil (false coloured red). Image courtesy of Dr. K. Golovin.

One Red Hoodoo
Re-entrant texture is key to repelling low surface tension liquids like oils, alcohols, and solvents. Here a texture of “micro-hoodoos” is seen under SEM. False coloured. Image courtesy of Dr. K. Golovin. University of Michigan Materials Science & Engineering calendar winning image, 2016.
Megneto-Wheel
Iron oxide nanoparticles self-assemble in a droplet of water. The particle arrange in a very appealing pattern due to the coffee ring (or cheerio) effect. This image was a finalist in the Science as Art competition for the Materials Research Society 2015 annual meeting. False coloured. Image courtesy of Dr. S. Kobaku.
Huddle
When PDMS micro-pillars are sprayed with liquid PDMS resin, they will spontaneously come together and form complex structures. This image was a finalist in the Science as Art competition for the Materials Research Society 2014 annual meeting. False coloured. Image courtesy of Dr. K. Golovin.
