Bioinspired Asymmetric-Anisotropic (Directional) Fog Harvesting Based on the Arid Climate Plant Eremopyrum orientale (2017)
Journal Article
Gürsoy, M., Harris, M., Carletto, A., Yaprak, A., Karaman, M., & Badyal, J. (2017). Bioinspired Asymmetric-Anisotropic (Directional) Fog Harvesting Based on the Arid Climate Plant Eremopyrum orientale. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 529, 959-965. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2017.06.065

Asymmetric-anisotropic (directional) fog collection behaviour is observed for leaves of the arid climate plant species Eremopyrum orientale. This is underpinned by a hierarchical surface structure comprising macroscale grooves, microscale tilted cone...

Bioinspired fog capture and channel mechanism based on the arid climate plant Salsola crassa (2017)
Journal Article
Gürsoy, M., Harris, M., Downing, J., Barrientos-Palomo, S., Carletto, A., Yaprak, A., …Badyal, J. (2017). Bioinspired fog capture and channel mechanism based on the arid climate plant Salsola crassa. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 529, 195-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2017.05.071

Salsola crassa plant hairs collect fog in their natural arid climate habitat through the capture and growth of water droplets. These then, either drip onto the ground below due to gravity, or coalesce into larger attached water droplets, whilst concu...
