Superhydrophobic refers to surfaces that repel water, causing droplets to bead up and roll off rather than spreading out. This property is typically achieved through specific textures or coatings that create a high contact angle with water, usually greater than 150 degrees. These surfaces are often inspired by natural phenomena, such as the leaves of the lotus plant, which exhibit similar water-repellent characteristics. Superhydrophobic materials have various applications, including self-cleaning surfaces, anti-fogging coatings, and protective gear, enhancing durability and functionality in everyday items.
