Multimetric Optimization of PFAS-Free Water-Repellent Treatments on Nylon/Cotton (NYCO) Fabrics

Surfaces
This study investigates the influence of PFAS-free superhydrophobic treatment on the performance of NYCO (50% Nylon 50% Cotton) fabric. The primary focus is to assess how these treatments influence key performance attributes, including water repellency ...

Natural and fire-induced soil water repellency in a Portugese Shrubland

, 2011
Post-fire land degradation is often attributed to fire-induced soil water repellency, despite the fact that soil water repellency is a natural phenomenon in many soils and is therefore not necessarily caused by fire.

Measurements of infiltration and water repellency on different soils [PDF]

, 2012
Infiltration is a process of water entering soil from its surface. Field measurements of infiltration are performed with infiltrometers. Calculation of hydraulic conductivity can be done by different equations.

Effects of Endophyte-infected (Epichloë coenophaila) Tall Fescue Residues on Water Repellency and Structural Stability of Texturally-Different Soils

علوم آب و خاک, 2017
Soil water repellency can affect several soil properties such as aggregate stability. Soil texture and organic matter are two main internal factors responsible for the variability of soil water repellency.

Statistical design applied to hydric property behaviour for monitoring granite consolidation and/or water-repellent treatments

Materiales de Construccion, 2006
The suitability of granite conservation treatments (consolidation and/or water-repellency) wide/y used to protect heritage structures was evaluated on the basis of the changes occurring in the intrinsic characteristics of the stone (imbibition capacity ...

Water vapour adsorption on water repellent sandy soils

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
Soil sorptivity is considered a key parameter describing early stages of water (rain) infiltration into a relatively dry soil and it is related to build-up complexity of the capillary system and soil wettability (contact angles of soil pore walls ...

Buffer zone water repellency: effects of the management practice

, 2006
Water repellency index R was measured in a heavy clay and a sandy loam, used as arable land or buffer zone (BZ). Further, effect of management practise and ageing of BZs were studied.

Exponential increase of publications related to soil water repellency

, 2005
Soil water repellency is much more wide-spread than formerly thought. During the last decades, it has been a topic of study for soil scientists and hydrologists in at least 21 States of the USA, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Colombia, Chile,
