Abstract:We present a fast, straightforward fabrication method to produce stable superhydrophobic copper alloy surfaces. The technique consists of irradiating copper with a fiber laser and then coating the surface with ethanol. The laser ablation generates surface morphology on the copper surfaces, such as line and grid patterns. We can modify the wetting properties and surface morphology by changing the step size. We assessed the change of the water contact angle on the raw surface, laser-based textures after natural … Show more
