lotus effect

They have given the name to what is called the lotus effect.

This is sometimes referred to as the "Lotus effect".

The Lotus effect is based on this principle.

Now the lotus effect is being developed for other products, including roof shingles and auto paint.

In material science researchers have been instrumental in describing the lotus effect.

The lotus effect is being studied in lots of applications, like 'self-cleaning windows'.

The lotus effect has uses in biomimetic technical materials.

Only superhydrophobic, Lotus effect surfaces repel snow and ice.

A certain surface structure avoids moistening by rain and contamination (See Lotus effect).

The lotus effect, as it is called, has been applied to a house paint made in Germany called Lotusan.

Normally this type of surface would exhibit a lotus effect and the drop of water would roll or slide off.

Scientists call this the "lotus effect" because lotus leaves show this effect strongly.

The long-stalked, gray-green to green leaves are often covered with soft hairs, and show a high degree of water-resistance (see Lotus effect).

Lotus effect (water-resistance in plant leaves)

The lotus effect refers to the very high water repellence (superhydrophobicity) exhibited by the leaves of the lotus flower (Nelumbo).

The lotus effect is an example of biomimicry, an engineering approach that has been gaining momentum in recent years as manufacturers look to nature to solve some engineering problems.

Epicuticular wax forms crystalline projections from the plant surface, which enhance their water repellency, create a self-cleaning property known as the lotus effect and reflect UV radiation.

Under both "rain fade" and "snow fade" conditions, K and K band losses can be marginally reduced using super-hydrophobic Lotus effect coatings.

The Lotus Effect is the third studio album by the Dutch progressive metal band Sun Caged, released on June 17, 2011 by Lion Music.

Based on his systematic research on scanning electron microscopy of plant surfaces, he developed self-cleaning (lotus effect) technical surfaces and, in recent years, surfaces which permanently retain air under water.

This hydrophobic adaptation is referred to as the "lotus effect" and has inspired many products that emulate its properties, such as paints, fabrics and roof tiles, according to Science Ray.

Animals rarely graze it because of its irritating hairs, and liquid herbicides require surfactants to be effective, as the hair causes water to roll off the plant, much like the lotus effect.

A classical example is the development of dirt- and water-repellent paint (coating) from the observation that the surface of the lotus flower plant is practically unsticky for anything (the lotus effect).

Nanofabrics are textiles engineered with small particles that give ordinary materials advantageous properties such as superhydrophobicity (extreme water resistance, also see "Lotus effect"), odor and moisture elimination, increased elasticity and strength, and bacterial resistance.
