Bio-Inspired Functional Surfaces Based on Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures

Abstract: Nature developed numerous solutions to solve various technical problems related to material surfaces by combining the physico-chemical properties of a material with periodically aligned micro/nanostructures in a sophisticated manner. The utilization of ultra-short pulsed lasers allows mimicking numerous of these features by generating laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). In this review paper, we describe the physical background of LIPSS generation as well as the physical principles of surface rel… Show more

“…If laser scan processing with Gaussian beams is employed for structuring of large surface areas, the latter micrometer-sized spike structures are usually covered by the sub-micrometric LIPSS structures, resulting in hierarchical surface morphologies. The latter surfaces are often strongly hydrophobic, featuring the well-known water repellent Lotus effect [17]. The amount of different self-ordered surface structures renders various ways of particular surface functionalization possible-as demonstrated in applications for surface colorization [18], the reduction of friction and wear [19], the control of cell or biofilm growths [20,21], or the promotion of protein adsorption [22].…”

“…These ripple patterns arise from interference between the incident radiation and surface electromagnetic waves, and are highly dependent on polarisation [14]. These small scale and highly uniform patterns mirror textures seen in nature (e.g.…”
