| Abstract | The multi-coupling characteristics and the contact angle performance of the lower surface of the lotus leaf were investigated through laser scanning confocal microscope, scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurement. The results indicate that the lower surfaces of the lotus leaf possess biological multi-coupling contents and excellent hydrophobic performance. Scallops morphology, micro grid-like structure and the wax-like materials with the lower surface energy of the lower surfaces of the lotus leaf were systematically investigated as biological coupling contents contributing to improve the hydrophobic performance. In this paper, researchers found that hydrophobic function of the lotus leaf' lower surface are results of interaction among coupling contents by certain coupling mechanisms from the bionic viewpoint. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
