Hatton Lab Functional and Adaptive Surfaces Group
Organizational focus: The Hatton Lab Functional and Adaptive Surfaces Group (The Hatton Lab) creates advanced materials and surface structures by adopting natural biological ideas.
Who they are: Based at the University of Toronto’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the Hatton Lab is an interdisciplinary research group that designs smart, active surfaces using lithography, templating, and self-assembly methods. This research is critical in several industries, including electronics and semiconductors, life sciences, and sustainable infrastructure.
What they offer: The Hatton Lab offers materials research in several areas, including biomaterials and biointerfaces, surface and wetting adhesion, porous and cellular materials, smart and adaptive surfaces, and self-organized pattern formation. Its applications include antimicrobial surfaces, non-fouling materials, smart medical devices, active building facades, and active adhesion.
