Engineering Interfaces to Control Liquid Behavior
We develop engineered surfaces that enable deterministic control of liquid transport and phase change across water, thermal, and fluid systems.
Interliant Technologies is an early-stage engineering R&D company developing surface-engineered systems for deterministic control of liquid transport and phase change. We design how liquids interact with solid interfaces to create predictable, high-performance behavior in water, thermal, and fluid-based applications.
Our work emphasizes feasibility-scale modeling, surface fabrication, and benchtop validation, with the goal of establishing whether engineered interfaces can deliver measurable performance gains before scale-up and commercialization.
What we do
We translate advances in interfacial physics, surface science, and multiphase fluid dynamics into practical engineering mechanisms. Our approach focuses on controlling liquid nucleation, motion, shedding, and recycling at solid interfaces.

Active focus
Two current research programs apply the same interfacial-physics foundation to distinct early-stage applications:
- Mobile Fog-Harvesting Harp — engineered surface drainage and airflow interaction for improved fog capture.
- PhaseJump™ Micro Cooler — surface-mediated droplet transport for passive, orientation-independent hotspot cooling.
