Characterizing soil shrinkage and soil-water retention behaviors of clayey soils with pore-size distribution and microstructure evolution

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The soil-water retention and soil shrinkage characteristics are both crucial constitutive relations for unsaturated soils. Although existing research has explored the correlation between these two characteristics to some extent, the underlying mechanisms

Soil Water Retention curve and Hydraulic Conductivity of Fungi-Treated Sand

Geo-Congress 2022, 2021
Filamentous fungi in soil branch hyphae through pores, creating an interconnected fiber network, which is known as mycelium. Fungal mycelium can cross-link and entangle soil particles, which alters soil pore structures. Fungi can also secret hydrophobic compounds, changing the water wettability of soils.

An In Situ Oxidation Strategy for Ti3C2@TiO2 Heterojunction: Narrow‐Band Photodetection and Trace Chromium Ion Determination

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Ti3C2@TiO2 heterostructure has been successfully fabricated by an in situ oxidation approach. The as‐fabricated Ti3C2@TiO2‐based photodetector exhibits narrow‐spectrum response with excellent stability. It also realizes sensitive Cr(VI) detection in a large concentration range of 10−12–10−6 M with an ultra‐low detection limit of 7.6 × 10−12 M ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...

A survey about characteristics of soil water retention curve

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2018
The characteristic of soil water retention curve is a hot issue in soil water search. There is multifarious variation of soil water matrix potential if soil water content change. The relation curve is of great importance. In this paper, based on fractal theory, we analyze and discuss several aspects including mathematics models, application and ...
