- 1From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedA modified version of the popular agrohydrological model SWAP has been used to evaluate modelling of soil water flow and crop growth at field situations in which water repellency causes preferential flow. The parameter...
- 2From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCertain organic compounds derived from living organisms or their decaying parts are generally accepted to induce soil water repellency. Water repellency may therefore be expected to increase with proximity to organisms...
- 3From:Journal of Property Management (Vol. 66, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedKL--17 water repellent is a product formulated specifically for use on brick, block, masonry walls and stucco surfaces to prevent moisture penetration, migration and intrusion in a variety of applications. The Rubber...
- 4From:Advanced Coatings & Surface Technology (Vol. 16, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedEffectively fabricating materials that repel water is important for several industrial sectors. Boating, clothing design,umbrella making, and concrete and roof installation are among the pursuits that stand to benefit....
- 5From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSoil water repellency is now known to occur in diverse soils in various parts of the world. One of the possible adverse effects of soil water repellency is that it can reduce infiltration capacity and hence, on sloping...
- 6From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAustralia is a water-stressed nation and demand on potable water supply is increasing. Consequently water conservation and reuse are increasingly becoming important. Irrigation of recycled wastewater on water repellent...
- 7From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedRecently, it has become clear that soil water repellency is much more widespread than formerly thought. Water repellency has been reported in most continents of the world for varying land uses and climatic conditions....
- 8From:Pakistan Textile Journal (Vol. 64, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedByline: _ Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals, introduces a true innovation in water repellency for outdoor clothing with the launch of its Smartrepel Hydro line for polyester, polyamide and cotton-...
- 9From:Advanced Coatings & Surface Technology (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAlthough airplanes are an obvious destination for materials preventing ice formation, allied areas such as buildings, powerlines, and pipelines should not disregard problems related to ice accumulation. The challenge is...
- 10From:Forest Products Journal (Vol. 52, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedELMER L. SCHMIDT (*) TIMOTHY P. MURPHY (*) ALAN S. ROSS (*) R. SAM WILLIAMS (*) Abstract Water-repellency of preservative formulations used in the millwork industry has long been evaluated by measurement...
- 11From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedForest areas of the Mediterranean regions of Portugal, Morocco, and Tunisia are suffering major land use changes, with the replacement of traditional evergreen Quercus species (i.e. Quercus suber and Quercus ilex) by...
- 12From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMany soils may be water repellent to some degree, challenging the common perception that soil water repellency is only an interesting aberration. When dry, water repellent soils resist or retard water infiltration into...
- 13From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSoil 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,...
- 14From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 142) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT This paper presents an experimental analysis of the porous structure and drying kinetics of lime-based plasters and plaster-brick systems using different methods. The effect of adding a water-repellent...
- 15From:Science (Vol. 299, Issue 5611) Peer-ReviewedSuperhydrophobic surfaces are generally made by controlling the surface chemistry and surface roughness of various expensive materials, which are then applied by means of complex time-consuming processes. We describe a...
- 16From:Advanced Coatings & Surface Technology (Vol. 26, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThere is an increase in the research and development of water-repellant coatings that have the ability to help in conservation of resources during manufacturing and processing. Additionally, the materials used for these...
- 17From:Advanced Coatings & Surface Technology (Vol. 26, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedSelf-cleaning surfaces find a wide range of applications in coatings with anti-fouling, anti-icing, and antibacterial properties. Conventionally, superhydrophobic coatings arc used to coat surfaces to convert them into...
- 18From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 49) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT Pozzolana-lime mortars modified with water-repellent admixtures were designed and studied to obtain mortars for restoration application. Powdered silane and calcium stearates were mixed with pozzolana, lime...
- 19From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 43, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIn addition to the incineration of vegetation and litter layer, fires are also responsible for the formation of a water repellent layer with significantly different severity and spatial distribution patterns following...
- 20From:Advanced Materials & Processes (Vol. 171, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedTo help planes fly safely through cold, wet, and icy conditions, a team of scientists from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, University of Tokyo, Kanagawa Institute of Technology, and Chuo University developed a...
