Effective furrow sowing for water repellent soils [PDF]
Furrow sowing creates micro-relief, small ridges, and furrows into which water can be harvested. Sloping water repellent surfaces induce run-off, which collects at the base of the sown furrow, enhancing water entry through increased hydraulic ...

Nepenthes pitcher plant inspired bio-polymer embedded porous surfaces for oil aquaplaning
Scientific ReportsThe Nepenthes pitcher plant has inspired surfaces employing a liquid barrier that shields the surface from contaminants. However, such liquid-infused oil-repellent surfaces employ toxic fluorocarbons or unstable polar liquids.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Erodibility in synthetic water repellent soils [PDF]
: Fire induced soil water repellency (or hydrophobicity) is a major contributor of post-wildfire debris flow. By altering the hydrological responses of soils, the infiltration rate is significantly reduced and surface runoff is enhanced during rainfall ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work constructed a tandem W−N−C center to simultaneously achieve the regulation of reaction pathways and optimization of charge separation efficiency. The Lewis‐acidic W6+ sites activated O2 to generate O2−$O_2^ - $, with enhanced charge separation via electronic modulation, steering U(VI) reduction down an efficient radical pathway.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Precursor stoichiometry programs the surface chemistry of carbon dots, directing their self‐assembly into distinct aggregation modes. Aldehyde‐enriched surfaces form ordered, hydrogen‐bonded assemblies that enable bright red solid‐state fluorescence, whereas amine‐rich surfaces promote compact π–π stacked aggregates with broadband visible‐light ...

Synthesis of urethane-based non-F-containing water repellent agents including various models [PDF]
, 2018 In this study, Non-F-containing water repellent agents having urethane bonds were prepared from isocyanurate trimer as the central structure and sorbitan trioleate (STO-OH) or sorbitan tristearate (STS-OH) in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst.

Motion of a Highly Water-Repellent Sphere in Newtonian Fluids”, [PDF]
, 2003 It has, recently noticed the flow characteristics on a highly water-repellent wall on which a gas-liquid interface occurs near the solid surface. We have reported the drag reduction of flow around a circular cylinder with a highly water-repellent wall ...
