2. Lotus effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_effect

   The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo, the lotus flower. [1] Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to the micro- and nanoscopic architecture on the surface, which minimizes the droplet's adhesion to that surface.

3. Textile performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_performance

   Surface tension biomimetics is a phenomenon of exploitation of biomimetics properties to create functional effects such as shark skin, and lotus leaf that have the ability to repel water and self-cleaning. In textiles, surfaces with hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties are formed with the help of coatings and applied finishes.

5. Ultrahydrophobicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrahydrophobicity

   Active recent research on superhydrophobic materials might eventually lead to industrial applications. Some attempts at fabricating a superhydrophobic surface include mimicking a lotus leaf surface, namely the two-tiered characteristic. This requires micro-scale surfaces with typically nanoscale features on top of them.

6. Waterproof fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproof_fabric

   Drop of water on 100% polyester textile. Waterproof/breathable fabrics resist liquid water passing through, but allow water vapour to pass through. Their ability to block out rain and snow while allowing vapour from sweat to evaporate leads to their use in rainwear, waterproof outdoor sports clothing, tents, and other applications.

7. Self-cleaning surfaces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-cleaning_surfaces

   Self-cleaning surfaces are a class of materials with the inherent ability to remove any debris or bacteria from their surfaces in a variety of ways. The self-cleaning functionality of these surfaces are commonly inspired by natural phenomena observed in lotus leaves, gecko feet, and water striders to name a few.

   In their first run, the 1000 jackets Sierra West sold to L.L. Bean contained delaminated Gore-Tex. This resulted in Gore-Tex needing to change their formula. After W. L. Gore & Associates corrected the problem, Sierra West's waterproof clothing became a success. [1] By 1985, Sierra West was one of the top ten backpacking gear companies in the ...
