ABSTRACT
Ordered hierarchical structures were fabricated on a stainless steel surface using a single picosecond laser for highly controllable dimensions. Picosecond laser induced periodic structures were firstly used to create large-scale nano-structures with a period of ~450 nm. Subsequently, laser direct writing, by simply changing process parameters was employed to create micro squared structures with 19 µm width, 19 µm interval and 3-7.5 µm depth on the previously created nano-structures. As a result, micro squared structures covered by uniform nano-structures, similar to examples present in nature, were successfully fabricated. Additionally, the wettability of the created hierarchical structures was analyzed. The results demonstrated that the combination of both micro- and nano-structures allowed to tune the wetting behavior, presenting a great potential for wettability applications.
