    Abstract

    A method to fabricate superhydrophobic titanium (Ti) surface using linearly polarized femtosecond pulsed laser is proposed in this paper. A femtosecond pulsed laser is used to irradiate Ti surfaces to scan and induce the surface micro/nanostructures, so as to improve the surface roughness. The superhydrophobicity of the Ti surfaces is realized by combing ultrasonic treatment of low surface energy material. The roughnesses of Ti surfaces are changed by tuning the energy flux density of femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation, and different wettabilities of Ti surfaces are realized. The fabricated Ti surfaces with hydrophobicity and superhydrophobicity are placed in atmosphere for three months, and the wettabilities of the surfaces are measured. The results show that the wettabilities of the surfaces are nearly the same after three months, namely the fabricated Ti surfaces still exhibit stable hydrophobicity and superhydrophobicity.
