摘要: Micro-patterns with a single roughness were fabricated using a nanosecond laser source on stainless steel sheets to demonstrate a tunable and durable lotus effect via a vacuum process in a very short time interval. The wettability transitions of the vacuum processed μ-patterns were measured using the static water contact angle and found to be in the Cassie–Baxter state. The roll-off and static contact angle are 5° and 180°, respectively, for the μ-pillar and μ-channel structures. The surface exhibits bouncing and rolling of water droplets due to …
