... even at higher current densities. Exposure to the magnetic field improved wettability, evidenced by decreased contact angles. This enhancement is attributed to the alignment of nickel particles during deposition, facilitating a transition from the Cassie-Baxter to the Wenzel wetting state. Notably...

... was used in the laser direct writing method to texture the stainless steel surface submerged in water and in air with different scanning patterns. Changes in surface morphology, wettability, surface chemistry, and optical reflectivity were analyzed. In the particle lens array method, an excimer nanosecond...

... was utilized to control the surface roughness of the curved substrates by generating microsquare protuberance arrays, forming a 3D functionally graded material (FGM). Further experimental results using a goniometer showed that this method can create functional microstructures for wettability control on steep...
