Superhydrophobicity in perfection: the outstanding properties of the lotus leaf

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2011
Lotus leaves have become an icon for superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning surfaces, and have led to the concept of the ‘Lotus effect’. Although many other plants have superhydrophobic surfaces with almost similar contact angles, the lotus shows better ...

Air Bubble Bursting Effect of Lotus Leaf [PDF]

open access: yesLangmuir, 2009
Superhydrophobic surfaces, especially lotus leaf surface, have been largely explored due to their great importance in fundamental research and abundant potential applications. However, many efforts have been focused on investigating the superhydrophobic surfaces in air instead of in water environment, which are rather crucial to industrial separation ...

Lotus effect optimization algorithm (LEA): a lotus nature-inspired algorithm for engineering design optimization

open access: yesThe Journal of Supercomputing, 2023
AbstractHere we introduce a new evolutionary algorithm called the Lotus Effect Algorithm, which combines efficient operators from the dragonfly algorithm, such as the movement of dragonflies in flower pollination for exploration, with the self-cleaning feature of water on flower leaves known as the lotus effect, for extraction and local search ...
