About David Salazar Reyes
My project investigates how charge influences interfacial properties and substrate effects in electro sprayed ionic liquids. The aim is to develop multifunctional materials for use in sensing and targeted thermal delivery These properties can be used to create less toxic, conductive thin films for micro/nanoelectronics, which can be encapsulated in particle sensors. This could reduce contamination, improve lubrication, and enhance the performance and longevity of satellites and aerospace systems.
