Wetting behaviors of structured metal surfaces have received considerable attention due to
the wide range of applications for commercial, industrial, and military uses as well as …

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 …

In the present work, a study of laser-based surface structuring of aerospace-grade titanium
alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with subsequent ageing by employing two different storage methods is …

Wettability plays a major role in a variety of surface related phenomena, as corrosion, heat
transfer or tissue adhesion on implants. Consequently, great research effort is being devoted …

Microtextures generated by pulsed lasers allow for changing the surface properties of a wide
palette of materials by replicating nature's most effective topographies. In the case of laser …

We systematically investigate (i) how the surface chemistry of Cu substrates is altered by
femtosecond laser machining LIPSS in different atmospheres and (ii) the impact of …

Nanoparticles re-deposited during the laser machining process have been suspected to
modify the intrinsic surface chemistry of machined metallic surfaces. However, only very few …

In this report we show that the laser textured stainless steel meshes which serve as excellent
oil water separator immediately after laser processing, lose their oil water separation …

To understand the complex interplay of topography and surface chemistry in wetting,
fundamental studies investigating both parameters are needed. Due to the sensitivity of …

Hydrophobicity is a prominent characteristic of a surface that governs its applications in
domains such as wear reduction by lubrication retention, self-cleaning surfaces, fluid drag …
