Cover systems with synthetic water‐repellent soils [PDF]
Vadose Zone Journal, 2021 A cover system is a crucial component of engineered landfills, to minimize water percolation into the underlying waste. Capillary barriers are an alternative cover system, which has been widely used in the arid and semiarid regions as no cohesive, low ...

Water repellent soils: the case for unsaturated soil mechanics [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Water repellent (or “hydrophobic” or “non-wetting”) soils have been studied by soil scientists for well over a century. These soils are typified by poor water infiltration, which leads to increased soil erosion and poor crop growth.

Water Movement and Finger Flow Characterization in Homogeneous Water-Repellent Soils [PDF]
Vadose Zone Journal, 2018 Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread property in soils around the world. It influences soil water movement and causes unstable flow. The mechanics of finger flow occurrence in water-repellent soils are not clearly understood.

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.

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.

Super-hydrophobic and super-wetting surfaces: analytical potential? [PDF]
, 2004 Roughening or texturing surfaces provides super-liquid repellent or film forming properties without alteration of the surface chemistry. These surfaces are easy to produce, can amplify wetting properties and can be either "sticky" or "slippy" to liquids.

Water-Repellent Surfaces Consisting of Nanowires on Micropyramidal Structures [PDF]
, 2019 Super-repellent surfaces are relevant for several practical applications, such as water collection and self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces. However, designing surfaces that can maintain their super-repellency when the surface is subjected to a humid ...

Quantitative NMR monitoring of liquid ingress into repellent heterogeneous layered fabrics [PDF]
, 2008 Fabrics which are water repellent and repellent to other liquids are often constructed using multiple layers of material. Such a construction is preferable to a single layer of a liquid-repellent textile because, under the action of an applied pressure ...
