• Superhydrophobic surfaces: a review on fundamentals, applications, and challenges (2018, background): “This effect is called the petal effect, where high contact angle could not be used for rolling off the liquid drops.(37) This phenomenon can be compared with the water drops on the lotus leaf, which roll off easily due to low sliding angle (less than 5 ) (Fig.”
• Turning a surface superrepellent even to completely wetting liquids (2014, neutral): “To avoid the confusion with the petal effect (22), where a droplet with large contact angles sticks to the surface, it helps to first clarify that repelling means droplets not only bead up but also roll off on the surface.”
