Abstract
Surface functionalisation of polymers is essential for enhancing properties such as wettability and mechanical resistance. This study presents a scalable, coating-free approach to fabricate hydrophobic and superhydrophobic Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces. Aluminium (AA2024) moulds were microstructured using a TruMicro femtosecond laser system to generate [...] Read more.
Surface functionalisation of polymers is essential for enhancing properties such as wettability and mechanical resistance. This study presents a scalable, coating-free approach to fabricate hydrophobic and superhydrophobic Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces. Aluminium (AA2024) moulds were microstructured using a TruMicro femtosecond laser system to generate grid patterns with controlled hatch distances and depths, as well as laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs). These features were accurately replicated onto PDMS, as confirmed by scanning electron miscoscopy (SEM) and profilometry. Contact angle measurements showed a marked increase in hydrophobicity, reaching superhydrophobicity for optimised parameters, with surface stability maintained over four months without degradation.
