One-step laser etching of a bionic hierarchical structure on a silicone rubber surface with thermal and acid/alkali resistance and tunable wettability

Abstract

Superhydrophobic silicone rubber with robust physical and chemical stability has promising application potential in the field of flexible electronics. A one-step laser etching strategy is proposed for successively fabricating superhydrophobic...

Laser irradiation effects in FeRh thin film

“…One of the main challenges to turn a promising material into a nanodevice is the local implementation of the desired physical parameters. Among several techniques, the most common procedures use either a mask which determines the regions of the modifiable areas [12,20,21] or use a well-focused beam that directly damage or alters the material properties in the irradiated section [22][23][24][25][26].…”

Efficient fabrication of tilt micro/nanopillars on polypropylene surface with robust superhydrophobicity for directional water droplet rebound

“…Under extreme environments, such as high temperature, high pressure, acidic, alkaline and salty conditions, polymer materials can maintain ideal physical and chemical stability and good mechanical strength ( deLeon et al., 2016 ; Du et al., 2022 ; Gu et al., 2021 ). In addition, micro/nanostructures can be successfully constructed on the surface of thermoplastic polymers via molding, 3D printing, and injection molding and extrusion, which are characterized by their high efficiency and high accuracy ( Liang et al., 2021 ; Xie et al., 2017 , 2022 ; Bai et al., 2022 ; Park et al., 2022 ).…”
