The hydrophobic surface of the lotus leaf has many desirable properties. A hydrophobic surface prevents the build-up of foreign or water molecules on the surface and exhibit self-cleaning properties. A rough surface results in a high contact angle, which implies a hydrophobic surface. To create a hy...
