One pot synthesis of opposing 'rose petal' and 'lotus leaf' superhydrophobic materials with zinc oxide nanorods

- One pot synthesis of artificial 'rose petal' and 'lotus leaf' cloth surfaces from cloth substrates.
- ZnO nanorods decorated superhydrophobic cloth through simple hydrothermal process.
- Zero adhesion 'lotus effect' and strong adhesion 'rose petal effect' are described.
