Video: The Strangest, Coolest Materials Which Do Actually Exist.
This is my favorite, hydrophobic materials.
First up in this video we will cover ultra hydrophobic material's, also know as the lotus effect. The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo or "lotus flower". Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to the micro- and nanoscopic architecture on the surface, which minimizes the droplet's adhesion to that surface. My favorite part is were they throw a tub of mud on two guys wearing suits and nothing sticks on the one! also the ability to completely waterproof electronics with this stuff is amazing.
