Effects of hydrophobicity on splash erosion of model soil particles by a single water drop impact [PDF]
, 2013 Raindrop impact can be a major contributor to particle mobilization for soils and other granular materials. In previous work, water repellent soils, comprised of hydrophobic particles, have been shown to exhibit greater splash erosion losses under ...

Electrospinning repellents in polyvinyl alcohol-nanofibres for obtaining mosquito-repelling fabrics [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Recently, the use of repellents for preventing the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases is getting increasingly more attention. However, most of the current repellents are volatile in nature and must be frequently re-applied as their efficacy is only ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A gradient‐engineered all‐paper sensor is fabricated by integrating MXene and in situ grown AgNPs within hierarchical cellulose networks. The device breaks the sensitivity–detection range trade‐off through cascaded conductive pathways, enabling ultrahigh pressure sensitivity, humidity–pressure decoupled dual‐mode sensing, and outstanding EMI shielding,

Development of an animal repellent - selection, efficacy and presentation
, 2006 Under some circumstances it may be desirable to repel herbivorous pests (e. g. goats and wallabies) from plants (e. g. horticultural or forestry seedlings) rather than to kill them.

Plant Insecticidal Toxins in Ecological Networks
Toxins, 2012 Plant secondary metabolites play a key role in plant-insect interactions, whether constitutive or induced, C- or N-based. Anti-herbivore defences against insects can act as repellents, deterrents, growth inhibitors or cause direct mortality.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Keratin recovered from animal‐hair textile waste is fractionated and blended with cellulose to produce continuously spun hybrid fibers. Selecting the high‐molecular‐weight keratin fraction enables 30 wt.% keratin incorporation while maintaining high strength in dry and wet states.

Behavioural evidence for detection of the repellent polygodial by aphid antennal tip sensilla
, 1995 Close-up video was used to record responses of the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the plant-derived repellent polygodial. When 0.1% (+/-)-polygodial was painted onto one half of a Chinese cabbage leaf disc, and the other half ...
