How roughness controls the water repellency of woven fabrics

Materials & Design, 2020
The coming ban on substances of high environmental concern used to provide water repellency to fabrics creates new challenges for the textile industry. Here we show that the design of the texture of woven fabrics is an important parameter to play with in

Spatiotemporal Variability of Soil Water Repellency in Urban Parks of Berlin

Soil Systems
Urban green spaces are important components of city spaces that are vulnerable to degradation in soil–water–climate processes. This vulnerability is exacerbated by current climate change and park usage density.

Long‐Term Immersion Study for Durability of Interconnected Micropatterned Surfaces with Sustained Water Repellency

Advanced Materials Interfaces
The sustained water repellency of interconnected micropatterned surfaces is explored over an extended duration, with a focus on their resilience during a 90‐day water‐immersion test. Initially, the microstructure surfaces exhibit high water repellency, a

Water-repellent soil and its relationship to granularity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity: a materials science view [PDF]

, 2005
Considerable soil water repellency has been observed at a wide range of locations worldwide. The soil exhibiting water repellency is found within the upper part of the soil profile.

Transitions of water-drop impact behaviour on hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles [PDF]

, 2013
Extreme soil water repellency can have substantial implications for soil hydrology, plant growth and erosion, including enhanced splash erosion caused by raindrop impact.

Effect of Particle Size on Droplet Infiltration into Hydrophobic Porous Media As a Model of Water Repellent Soil [PDF]

, 2011
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota, and in determining the risk for preferential flow, surface runoff, flooding,and soil erosion. The molarity of ethanol droplet (MED) test is widely used for quantifying the severity

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]

, 2007
Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishinent of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Impact of secondary succession in abandoned fields on some properties of acidic sandy soils

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020
Abandonment of agricultural lands in recent decades is occurring mainly in Europe, North America and Oceania, and changing the fate of landscapes as the ecosystem recovers during fallow stage.

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 ...
