For generating a texture or pattern on a work surface, one of the emerging processes is laser
surface texturing (LST). It is an effective method for producing texture on a work surface …

Direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) is a laser-based surface structuring method that
stands out for its high throughput, flexibility and resolution for laboratory and industrial …

Self-cleaning ability on technical surfaces can increase the added value of a product. A
common path to achieve this property is making the surface superhydrophobic so that water …

Lasers that exhibit monochromaticity, directionality, coherence, and focusability have been
used in health care and defense industries for over five decades. Recently, the application of …

The surface roughness of additive manufactured parts is usually high and not satisfactory for
any aimed application. Surface structuring by laser remelting (WaveShape) is a novel laser …

In this study, two-step approaches to fabricate periodic microstructures on polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) and poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) substrates are presented to …

Inspired by nature's ability to shape soft biological materials to exhibit a range of optical
functionalities, we report femtosecond (fs) laser-induced densification as a new method to …

Conventional surface structuring processes often share two crucial disadvantages. Firstly,
an additional surface finishing is usually required. Secondly, excess material is wasted. In …

The present work deals with the chemical constitution of coatings deposited by plasma
activation of hexamethyldisiloxane in positive column plasma of a low-pressure DC glow …

Besides conventional structuring processes such as turning, milling or photo-chemical
etching, laser processes are increasingly being used for surface structuring of metals. These …
