Lotus effect: Superhydrophobicity
Journal of the Textile Institute, 2006Abstract The relationships among contact angles, surface tensions, and surface roughness are reviewed. The various numerical formulae related to contact angles were used to predict the surface tension and wetting behavior of polymer surfaces. The apparent contact angle of a droplet deposited on a textured surface is presented, and the characteristics ...

Effect on lotus leaf for dielectric applications
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2022Abstract Lotus leaves have received significant attention for multiplicity of application. This study focuses on dielectric applications on lotus leaves. The Lotus leaves (Nelumbo nucifera) were taken from Tamilnadu, South India. After assortment of lotus leaves, the lotus leaves was dried in the sun.

The Lotus Effect: Superhydrophobicity and Metastability
Langmuir, 2004To learn how to mimic the Lotus effect, superhydrophobicity of a model system that resembles the Lotus leaf is theoretically discussed. Superhydrophobicity is defined by two criteria: a very high water contact angle and a very low roll-off angle. Since it is very difficult to calculate the latter for rough surfaces, it is proposed here to use the ...

Lotus Effect and Self-Cleaning
2011Self-cleaning surfaces are capable of repelling contaminants, including solid particles, organic liquids, and biocontaminants. The most common principle of self-cleaning is based on the Lotus effect, which involves the superhydrophobicity induced by surface roughness.

The Physics Teacher, 2011
This is a short article about Aqua Drop, a toy that employs a superhydrophobic surface. After defining superhydrophobic surface, its occurrence in nature, and its importance in science and technology, I describe the toy, followed by several student activities that can be performed with the toy and easily found natural objects.

Prediction of the Lotus Effect on Solid Surfaces by Machine Learning
Small, 2022AbstractSuperhydrophobic surfaces with the “lotus effect” have wide applications in daily life and industry, such as self‐cleaning, anti‐freezing, and anti‐corrosion. However, it is difficult to reliably predict whether a designed superhydrophobic surface has the “lotus effect” by traditional theoretical models due to complex surface topographies. Here,

Effects of Lotus Root Extract on Osteoblast and Osteoclast
2011Lotus root is a commonly used folk herb for the treatment of hypertension and stomach diseases. In the present study we investigated the effect of its extract on osteoblast and osteoclast in vitro using human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells and primary mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages, respectively.
