“…A specific patterned surface is traditionally formed through abrasive blasting, reactiveion etching, lithography, and mechanical machining. With respect to such conventional approaches, laser technology allows for generating the most controllable and well-defined geometries; it is an environmentally friendly technique since it does not a need chemical reagent, and it does not produce significant waste [4][5][6]. Laser-textured shape and textured area fraction have a strong influence on the wetting behavior and bacterial adhesion of metallic (Ti-6Al-4V), ceramic (hydroxyapatite), and polymeric (polymethyl methacrylate) surfaces, all of which are relevant for biomedical, energy, and mechanical applications.…”

The laser surface texturing (LST) technique has recently been used to enhance adhesion bond strength in various coating applications and to create structures with controlled hydrophobic or superhydrophobic surfaces. The texturing processing parameters can be adjusted to tune the surface’s polarity, thereby controlling the ratio between the polar and dispersed components of the surface free energy and determining its hydrophobic character. The aim of this work is to systematically select appropriate laser and scan head parameters for high-quality surface topography of metal-based materials. A correlation between texturing parameters and wetting properties was made in view of several technological applications, i.e., for the proper growth of conformal layers onto laser-textured metal surfaces. Surface analyses, carried out by scanning electron microscopy and profilometry, reveal the presence of periodic microchannels decorated with laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) in the direction parallel to the microchannels. The water contact angle varies widely from about 20° to 100°, depending on the treated material (titanium, nickel, etc.). Nowadays, reducing the wettability transition time from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity, while also changing environmental conditions, remains a challenge. Therefore, the characteristics of environmental dust and its influence on the properties of the picosecond laser-textured surface (e.g., chemical bonding of samples) have been studied while monitoring ambient conditions.
