Figure 2. Wetting properties of original titanium foil and prepared filters.

Figure 2

(a) A water droplet (5 μL) in air and (c) an oil droplet (1, 2-dichloroethane, 5 μL) in water on the original Ti surface with WCA of 66.3 ± 2.1° and OCA of 88.7 ± 1.4°. (b) A water droplet in air and (d) an oil droplet in water on filter-12.4-100 with WCA near 0° and OCA of 159.6 ± 2.1°. (e) Statistical graph of underwater OCA on different ablated surfaces. The above five insets are photographs of oil droplets on the ablated surface with a microhole spacing of 100 μm and laser fluences from 3.1 to 15.5 J/cm2. The lower five insets are photographs of oil droplets on the ablated surface with a microhole spacing of 300 μm and laser fluences from 3.1 to 15.5 J/cm2.
