Inspired by the lotus leaf effect, non-wetting artificial superhydrophobic surfaces
demonstrate an enormous potential in numerous fields. However, limited by poor stability …

Laser texturing, involving the creation of patterns on material surfaces, is considered an
efficient and facile approach to fabricate hierarchical surface structures on various material …

In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grafted by silica nanoparticles to prepare CNTs-
SiO 2 hybrids, which were then incorporated into epoxy matrix to construct a …

The stacked riblet-like shark scales, also known as dermal denticles, allow them to control
the boundary layer flow over the skin and to reduce interactions with any biomaterial …

Texturing of cutting tool surfaces is emerging as one of the viable solutions to enhance
tribological characteristics during machining. Apart from the cutting regime used, the …

In this paper, the Ti6Al4V surface was textured in air, water, ethanol and saturated sodium
bicarbonate solution respectively using a nanosecond pulse fiber laser, and the surfaces …

In the process of metal cutting, the friction between the tool and the workpiece wears the tool
seriously and degrades the surface quality of the workpiece. In order to reduce the friction …

This work aims to propose a newly-emerged method using laser irradiation in liquid for the
fabrication of metal-organic highly hydrophobic aluminum surface with excellent corrosion …

Surface morphology of implants plays an important role in enhancing cell response at the
interface. Zinc ions (Zn 2+) have a promising potential for osseointegration by stimulating …

Advanced coatings are essential to modern technologies as they optimise surface
characteristics for different application scenarios. Transparent and self-cleaning coatings are …
