#Researchers Develop Super-Hydrophobic Metal Surfaces Using Lasers Researchers have turned metal surfaces water repellent using femtosecond laser pulses.
Researchers from the University of Rochester have used femtosecond laser pulses to turn metals waterproof or super-hydrophobic.
said, his is the first time that a multifunctional metal surface is created by lasers that is super-hydrophobic (water repelling),
The optical and wetting properties of the surfaces of the three metals were altered by these nanostructures.
According to the researchers, properties they provide to the metal will not deteriorate. The super-hydrophobic properties of the laser-patterned metals are similar to the famous nonstick coating.
The project was financed by The Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation and Air force Office of Scientific research and is published in the Journal of Applied Physics y
