The Lotus effect means the self-cleaning properties of the lotus flower that come out as a result of ultra-hydrophobicity. In this method, all the dirt particles are extracted out by water droplets because of the miniature work done on the surface as a result of which the adhesion of droplets is minimized.However, these properties are not only found in this flower but a few other flowers as well. They have a huge impact on the factors in which they play a role despite being at a certain level. T …

Lotus effect is a coined term for self-cleaning properties. The excellent water repellency and self-cleaning ability of lotus leaves have inspired the construction of manmade self-cleaning surfaces. The lotus effect is based on the micro/nano-structures creating roughness on the surface and the hydrophobic wax coating on the lotus leave.These features make it difficult for dirt, dust, and water to adhere to the surface, helping to keep it clean. Such self-cleaning surfaces are utilized in va …

The paint industry has also taken full advantage of nanotechnology and has incorporated it to build more efficient, durable, anti-corrosive, adhesive, and super flexible paints. With the help of nanomaterials, the paints with anticorrosive, insect’s killer, self-cleaning effects have come into existence. Therefore, this article aims to discuss such paints and their role in detail. Background The anticorrosive protection by means of organic coatings (anticorrosive paints) acts by diffe …

The term "lotus effect" refers to water repellency and self-cleaning, seen in graphic mode as a drop that is kept on a surface instead of being absorbed. The origin of this expression has to do with a flower, known as “lotus flower”, which is a scientific mystery because it has not been possible to discover why it does not get wet. The hydrophobic characteristic of the lotus flower has been imitated for useful effects of human life, being one of the main tasks of nanotechnology research.L …
