Theoretical Explanation of the Lotus Effect : Superhydrophobic Property Changes by Removal of Nanostructures from the Surface of a Lotus Leaf

Theoretical study is presented on the wetting behaviors of water droplets over a lotus leaf. Experimental results are interpreted to clarify the trade-offs among the potential energy change, the local pinning energy, and the adhesion energy. The theoretical parameters, calculated from the experiment...
