Active Superhydrophobicity

, 2014
A droplet of water on a lotus leaf stays spherical as a bead, and rolls very easily without leaving any trace behind; the leaf is thus protected from water and stays dry. This property is called superhydrophobicity, or « Lotus effect ». This thesis is about studying remarkable surperhydrophobic behaviors in nature and understanding their origins to ...
