Lotus effect in wetting and self-cleaning (2016, background): “[75] fabricated certain dual scale roughness structures by treated different metal alloys initially shown superhydrophilic behaviors with femtosecond laser irradiation.”
Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures— A Scientific Evergreen (2017, background): “60° and 85° change their CA with time from superhydrophilic (CA < 30°) shortly after laser processing to superhydrophobic (CA = 120°—160°), due to surface chemistry [128], [129].”
Transition from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic state of laser textured stainless steel surface and its effect on corrosion resistance (2017, methodology): “To examine the isolated influence of wettability on corrosion behaviour we used the inherent property of laser textured metal surface, where a transition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic state appears if such a surface is exposed to the air at room conditions [11,12,21].”
Fabrication of Micro/Nano Structures on Metals by Femtosecond Laser Micromachining (2014, background): “it takes some time for superhydrophobicity to develop on intrinsically hydrophilic metals, which they attributed to the formation of a carbonaceous surface layer after laser treatment that alters the chemistry of the surface [115].”
