Surface Wettability Modification of Cyclic Olefin Polymer by Direct Femtosecond Laser Irradiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of laser irradiation on surface wettability of cyclic olefin polymer (COP) was investigated. Under different laser parameters, a superhydrophilic or a superhydrophobic COP surface with a water contact angle (WCA) of almost 0° or 163°, respectively, could be achieved by direct femtosecond laser irradiation. The laser power deposition rate (PDR) was found to be a key factor on the wettability of the laser-treated COP surface. The surface roughness and surface chemistry of the laser-irradiated samples were characterized by surface profilometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively; they were found to be responsible for the changes of the laser-induced surface wettability. The mechanisms involved in the laser surface wettability modification process were discussed.

Femtosecond laser induced hierarchical ZnO superhydrophobic surfaces with switchable wettability.
A simple and one-step method to form a rough ZnO layer consisting of micro/nanoscale hierarchical structures via direct femtosecond laser ablation of the Zn surface is reported for the first time. The resultant surfaces show switchable wettability between superhydrophobicity and quasi-superhydrophilicity via alternate UV irradiation and dark storage.

Local restructuring of metallic nanorod arrays and the fabrication of metallodielectric microstructures using direct femtosecond laser writing technologies have been studied. Femtosecond laser ablation has demonstrated the possibility to create sharp boundaries down to a single nanorod on the nanorod array. Polymer structures on the nanorods can be used to control the resonance wavelengths and ...

متن کاملFemtosecond laser controlled wettability of solid surfaces.
Femtosecond laser microfabrication is emerging as a hot tool for controlling the wettability of solid surfaces. This paper introduces four typical aspects of femtosecond laser induced special wettability: superhydrophobicity, underwater superoleophobicity, anisotropic wettability, and smart wettability. The static properties are characterized by the contact angle measurement, while the dynamic ...
