Table 5.

Confocal microscopy morphological characteristics, where Rp (µm) is the maximum peak height of the roughness profile, Rq (µm) is the root-mean-square (RMS) deviation of the roughness profile, Ra (µm) is the arithmetic mean deviation of the roughness profile, RSm (mm) is the mean width of the roughness profile elements, peak density (1/cm) is the peak count of the roughness profile, Rsk is the skewness of the roughness profile, and Rku is the kurtosis of the roughness profile.
