Surface‐Anchored Microgel‐Based Films as Anti‐Icing Coatings

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The microgel‐based anti‐icing coatings presented in this work reduce ice adhesion by up to 90% on various substrates. This effect can be attributed to the incorporated functional cationic moieties binding a lubricating layer of quasi‐liquid interfacial water.

Sustainable Plant‐Based Water Repellent Coatings Using Hydrophobic Pine and Palm Pollen

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel formulation strategy for creating superhydrophobic coatings using plant‐derived waxes and chemically treated pine and palm pollen. By employing acid modification, the hydrophobicity of the pollen surface is enhanced, resulting in water contact angles exceeding 150°.

Rhizosphere-Scale Quantification of Hydraulic and Mechanical Properties of Soil Impacted by Root and Seed Exudates

Vadose Zone Journal, 2018
Using rhizosphere-scale physical measurements, we tested the hypothesis that plant exudates gel together soil particles and, on drying, enhance soil water repellency. Barley ( L. cv. Optic) and maize ( L. cv. Freya) root exudates were compared with chia (

One-Step Fabrication of Hot-Water-Repellent Surfaces

Biomimetics, 2022
Hot-water repellency is of great challenge on traditional superhydrophobic surfaces due to the condensation of tiny droplets within the cavities of surface textures, which builds liquid bridges to connect the substrate and hot water and thus destroys the
