DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2017.01.004
Abstract: Nature provides inspiration for liquid-repellant and low-adhesive surfaces, such as the lotus leaf and pitcher plant. While water-repellency is frequently found in nature, oil-repellency and surfactant-repellency are uncommon to nonexistent. To obtain oil- and surfactant-repellency,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2016.11.032
Abstract: Abstract Wetting patterns produced by water repellent soils are able to preferentially channel moisture deep into the soil profile, minimising storage in surface layers where it is most susceptible to evaporative loss. Although this effect… read more here.
