Evolution of and Disparity among Biomimetic Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Gecko, Petal, and Lotus Effect.

Small, 2022
It is desirable to turn one kind of superhydrophobic (SHPO) surfaces into another by changing surface topography alone and attaining solid surfaces with tunable properties.

Crashworthiness analysis and optimization of lotus-inspired bionic multi-cell circular tubes

Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, 2022
In this paper, inspired by the structural characteristics of lotus, a lotus-inspired bionic multi-cell tube (LBMT) is proposed. The theoretical model of is devised to predict the mean crushing force of LBMT.

Effects of casein on the stability, antioxidant activity, and bioavailability of lotus anthocyanins.

Journal of food biochemistry, 2022
Effects of casein on the stability, antioxidant activity, and bioavailability of lotus anthocyanins were investigated. Casein could inhibit the unsatisfactory pH-induced color change of lotus anthocyanins, and improved their photo, oxidation, and thermal

Magnetic-Responsive Superhydrophobic Surface of Magnetorheological Elastomers Mimicking from Lotus Leaves to Rose Petals.

Langmuir, 2021
In nature, many plants have evolved various wettability surfaces to survive and thrive in diverse environments. For example, the superhydrophobic surface of lotus can keep itself clean, while the rose petals can retain droplets for a long time.

Lotus Seedpod-Derived Hard Carbon with Hierarchical Porous Structure as Stable Anode for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2019
Hard carbon material is one of the candidates with great promise as anode-active material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Here, new types of biomass-derived hard carbons were obtained via one-step carbonization of lotus seedpods at 1000-1400 °C ...

Effect of drying air temperature on drying kinetics, color, carotenoid content, antioxidant capacity and oxidation of fat for lotus pollen

Drying Technology, 2020
Hot air drying of lotus pollen at temperatures ranging from 40 to 70 °C was investigated experimentally. Results indicated that the whole drying process occurred in the falling rate period.
