Hydrophilic-hydrophobic composite wettability surfaces have shown great potential in
various fields such as water harvesting, oil-water separation, microfluidic devices, the …

Laser surface texturing (LST) is a non‐contact manufacturing process for fabricating
functional surfaces in a manner that improves the corresponding wettability, and is widely …

In this paper, we describe a simple, cost effective, fast, scalable and sustainable method for
fabrication of mechanically durable superhydrophobic (SHP) surface of titanium by a rapid …

Inspired by the Stenocora beetle, selective wettability surfaces incorporate alternating
wettable and nonwettable surface features that have received substantial attention over the …

A simple, scalable, rapid and eco-friendly method for the fabrication of superhydrophobic
(SHP) titanium surface was developed using rapid breakdown anodization (RBA) for the first …

Enabling capillary wicking on bulk metal alloys is challenging due to processing complexity
at different size scales. This work presents a laser-chemical surface treatment to fabricate …

In this paper, the wettability contrast surfaces were prepared via modifier-free composite
processing. Nickel particles were added in electrolytes to fabricate micro-nano hierarchical …

Micro/nano-hierarchical structures are the building blocks of textured functional surfaces.
Having control over the 3D shapes of these building blocks will lead to better control over …

Surface engineering methods for wettability modification of 3D-printed metal parts have
attracted considerable attention, in large part due to the applicability of these components in …

Laser texturing is a facile method to promote modified surface wetting properties. While most
laser textured metal surfaces are natively superhydrophilic, here we establish a quantitative …
