Functional method: 

The nano science busies itself with objects that are only a few nanometers large, whereby a nanometer is the billionth part of a meter (about 40 inches) . Nano particles and nano structures are put together out of 100 to 100,000 atoms or molecules and have physical and chemical characteristics or biological functions which distinguish a lot of the characteristics which single atoms/molecules or objects of our everyday life world have.

Not only the Lotus-flower, but also many other plants and insects have self-cleaning characteristics. Today the use of this self-cleaning effect we know as a natural phenomenon has arrived in the technical world and it is possible to apply it on almost any technical surface.

Scientists found out that the surface doesn't need to become smooth, but rather a "rough" surface must occur after the sealing. The refined surface reduces the contact area so that dirt cannot fix itself to the surface. Also the water that comes in contact with the surface is not able to build a film, it can only build small drops that drop off a lot easier and take most of the dirt with them. The so obtained self-cleaning characteristics reduce the cleaning expense and persistently protect the surface against aging, aggressive environmental influences and chalk deposits. 

Example 1: 

Nano particles organize themselves and bond together with the sealed surface to a firm connection . This happens for example with glass and ceramics. After the sealing fluids and dirt expire a lot more simply of the surface. 

Example 2: 

If a facade is sealed, the nano particles fix themselves on the open pores. After that dirt and water can expire more simply, but the surface still remains open for diffusion. Fungus, weaving, algae and moss are disturbed in the growth and therefore can’t survive.

Examples 3: 

Textiles can be sealed also. The nano particles form protection layer around each single fiber. Moisture and dirt can no longer penetrate into the fibers.
