Abstract: Super-hydrophobic surfaces are attractive due to self-cleaning and anti-corrosive behaviors in harsh environments. Laser texturing offers a facile method to produce super-hydrophobic surfaces. However, the results indicated that the fresh laser ablated surface was generally… read more here.
