Water droplets on taro leaf with lotus effect (upper), and taro leaf surface magnified (0–1 is one millimetre span) showing a number of small protrusions (lower). Computer graphic of a lotus leaf surface. A water drop on a lotus surface showing contact angles of approximately 147°.
Lotus Leaf (5780807820) Unitary roughness structure versus hierarchical structure A lotus leaf is well known for its ability to repel water and self-clean. Yuan [1] and his colleagues fabricated a negative mold of alotus leaf from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to capture the tiny hierarchical structures integral for the leaf's ability to repel water, known as the lotus effect.
Here is a picture of a water droplet on a lotus leaf. If the temperature is 20 o then λ c {\displaystyle \lambda _{c}} = 2.71mm The capillary length or capillary constant is a length scaling factor that relates gravity and surface tension .
Nelumbo / n ɪ ˈ l ʌ m b oʊ / [2] is a genus of aquatic plants with large, showy flowers.Members are commonly called lotus, though the name is also applied to various other plants and plant groups, including the unrelated genus Lotus.
One example of a superhydrophobic surface in nature is the Lotus leaf. [12] Lotus leaves have a typical contact angle of θ ∼ 160 ∘ {\displaystyle \theta \sim 160^{\circ }} , ultra low water adhesion due to minimal contact areas, and a self cleaning property which is characterised by the Cassie-Baxter equation.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) director Rohit Chopra has said he does not believe his agency should be a “dead fish” in the final weeks of the Biden administration.
Lotus plants are adapted to grow in the flood plains of slow-moving rivers and delta areas. Stands of lotus drop hundreds of thousands of seeds every year to the bottom of the pond. While some sprout immediately and most are eaten by wildlife, the remaining seeds can remain dormant for an extensive period of time as the pond silts in and dries ...
