研究目的
To introduce a systematic design approach to modify the surface chemistry of laser textured metal alloys to achieve various extreme wettabilities, including superhydrophobicity/superoleophobicity, superhydrophilicity/superoleophilicity, and co-existence of superoleophobicity and superhydrophilicity.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a systematic methodology to design the surface chemistry of laser textured metal alloys to alter its extreme wettabilities. Three different extreme wettability scenarios are achieved on the same laser textured surface by modifying the surface chemistry. The insights from this study provide design guidance to engineer future surfaces with extreme wettability for emerging applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on aluminum alloy 6061 and may not be directly applicable to other metal alloys without further research. The long-term stability of the treated surfaces under various environmental conditions is not extensively discussed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Microscale trenches are created on the aluminum alloy 6061 surfaces by nanosecond pulse laser surface texturing. The textured surface is then immersion-treated in several chemical solutions to attach target functional groups.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
AA6061 samples were ultrasonically cleaned in acetone, ethanol, and deionized (DI) water.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Nd: YAG nanosecond laser, galvanometer laser scanner, mirrors, cooling system, XYZ stage, computer with a microcontroller, chemical reagents including FDDTS, FDTS, FOTS, CPTS, A-PFDD, PVP, anhydrous sodium acetate.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser texturing in air (aNLT) followed by chemical immersion treatment (CIT) with different chemical solutions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Contact angle measurements, roll-off angle measurements, SEM analysis, XPS analysis, high-speed imaging for dynamic spreading of water droplets.
