Pore‐Scale Distribution of Mucilage Affecting Water Repellency in the Rhizosphere

, 2018
During drying, mucilage is preferentially deposited in small pores. This microscopic heterogeneity critically affects macroscopic wettability. Infiltration is impeded when a critical fraction of pores is blocked by dry mucilage.

Encapsulating Textiles with Dynamic Covalent Networks for Sustainable and Efficient Oil Spill Cleanup

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By encapsulating industrially relevant fabrics with dynamic imine networks, we show that the resulting composites exhibit exceptional oil absorbtion capability and chemical recyclability. It is poised for sustainable oil spill cleanup. ABSTRACT The development of high‐performance sorbents for oil spill remediation is highly desirable, which now calls ...

Spatial Gradients of Intensity and Persistence of Soil Water Repellency Under Different Forest Types in Central Mexico [PDF]

, 2016
Organic residues release hydrophobic compounds to the soil that may induce soil water repellency (WR), which may inhibit infiltration andincrease runoff and soil loss rates.

Dendritic Nano‐Based Slippery Coating by Synergistic Mechanical and Electrostatic Interactions with Persistent and Exceptional Combats Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel dendritic nano‐based slippery coating (DNSC), fabricated by encapsulating carboxyl silicone oil within amino dendritic silica nanoparticles and co‐embedding them in an epoxy resin matrix. The dendritic architecture enhances nanoparticle dispersion in the matrix and establishes mechanical interlock.

Robust Smart Superhydrophobic Cilia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To date, ciliated surfaces cannot withstand mechanical damage because cilia/wires are inherently fragile. By aligning magneto‐responsive, flexible, superhydrophobic microwires on the sidewall of vertical frames, the frames act as armors to protect microwires from mechanical damage; when needed, the microwires re‐align uprightly under a magnet field to ...
