lotus effect / water-repellent/hydrophobic effect Explanation: I think this might be what it means. The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo or "lotus flower". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_effect DWR (durable water repellent) is a coating added to fabrics at the factory to make them water-resistant (or hydrophobic). Most factory-applied treatments are fluoropolymer based. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_water_repellent Perhaps "ultrahydrophobic effect" even? |

Waterlily effect Explanation: Water droplets roll off the leaves, so this seems appropriate. Water lily or water lilies may refer to: in aquatic plants: Members of family Nymphaeaceae Formerly, members of the genus Nelumbo (the genus to which lotus belongs) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2016-12-22 21:05:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Lotus schmotus, just ask the POTUS :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphaeaceae |
