Application of an Ultrashort-pulsed Laser for Generation of Super-hydrophobic Surfaces

Abstract Hydrophobic surfaces have gained a vast attention in different fields of biomedical applications over the last few years. Laser treatment has been shown as promising technology for generation functional, inter alia, superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study picosecond Yb-YAG laser was assigned characteristics on steel alloy with application surgical instrumentation. Regarding ablation energy threshold about 6 μJ given pulse width and beam by assigning suitable combination microstructure kinematics processing conditions persistent hierarchical pattern is mapped laser-radiated The average measured contact angle laserradiated 150°, which indicates their properties.
