Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science
  • Engineering

Background:

  • Controlling surface wetting is crucial for material functionality but remains challenging.
  • Existing methods lack speed and reliability in modulating wetting states.
  • Tailored wetting properties enable applications like liquid repellency and anti-fouling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, rapid, one-step laser-based strategy for precise wetting state control on carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).
  • To achieve tunable surface properties ranging from hydrophilic to robust superhydrophobic states on CFRP.

Main Methods:

  • A one-step laser process was employed to modify the surface of CFRP.
  • Hierarchical micro/nanostructures were concurrently formed with low surface energy component enrichment.
  • Surface characterization confirmed the achieved Wenzel, mixed Cassie-Baxter/Wenzel, and stable Cassie-Baxter states.

Main Results:

  • The laser strategy successfully generated hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and stable superhydrophobic surfaces on CFRP.
  • Superhydrophobic surfaces achieved a stable Cassie-Baxter state due to combined structural and chemical modifications.
  • The resulting superhydrophobic CFRP surfaces demonstrated excellent stability, low adhesion, and superior anti-icing/de-icing performance.

Conclusions:

  • The developed laser-based method offers a rapid and precise approach for manipulating CFRP surface wetting.
  • The creation of stable superhydrophobic surfaces with enhanced properties opens new avenues for CFRP applications.
  • This work provides fundamental insights and a practical platform for developing advanced non-wetting, multifunctional CFRP materials.
