Enhancing droplet deposition through in-situ precipitation. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2016 AbstractRetention of agricultural sprays on plant surfaces is an important challenge. Bouncing of sprayed pesticide droplets from leaves is a major source of soil and groundwater pollution and pesticide overuse. Here we report a method to increase droplet deposition through in-situ formation of hydrophilic surface defects that can arrest droplets ...
