Abstract

Fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces is a popular topic in research and industry due to many potential applications including self-cleaning, anti-icing or drag reduction. Laser micro and nanostructuring is an efficient method to replicate lotus leaves double-scale structures to achieve superhydrophobicity without chemical treatment. Immediately after laser processing, samples are hydrophilic and become hydrophobic in a few days, exposed to atmospheric conditions. This time was significantly reduced by vacuum processing to only 4 h. Two-step fabrication method of superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed using nanosecond laser system. In the first step, large scale micropillars are fabricated and covered by nano-scale protrusions in the following step using defocused laser beam. The nanostructure formation increased the apparent contact angle from 149° to 175°.
