		<description><![CDATA[There many examples of superhydrophobic biological surfaces in nature. The ability of these surfaces to make water bead off completely and thereby wash off contamination very effectively has been termed the &#8220;Lotus effect&#8221;, although it is observed not only on the leaves of the Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera L.) but also on many other species, such [...]]]></description>

Most of the real surfaces are rough. There two options for the water droplet. 
i) To follow the roughness of the underlying substrate. When the substrate is hydrophilic the surface roughness reduces the water contact angle and when it is hydrophobic it enhances it.
So the parameter r (the ratio between the true surface area [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hydrophilicity, comes from the Greek ύ&#948;&#969;&#961;, (water) and &#966;&#953;&#955;ί&#945; (friendship). It refers to a physical property of a material that can transiently bond with water (H2O) through hydrogen bonding. 
A hydrophilic material is a friend of water. Friends like to come closer, so a water droplet would spread on a hydrophilic surface. Furthermore water can [...]]]></description>
