In Situ Change in Contact Angle of a Sessile Droplet on a Magnetoactive Elastomer
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Contact angles of persistent μL$\mu{\rm L}$‐sized water droplets on a mechanically soft MAE surface under time varying magnetic fields differ from those of newly deposited droplets. The ability to quickly alter the material properties allows one to observe intriguing droplet‐material interactions.

Modelling nitrogen fate from urea applied to near-trench rice paddy field
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2007 A simple model based on the theory of ‘first-order reaction’ kinetics and water-nitrogen coupled balance was developed to quantify N losses from urea applied to a near-trench rice paddy field, considering all the N transformations such as urea hydrolysis,
