A droplet deposited on a solid substrate leads to the wetting phenomenon. A natural
observation is the lotus effect, known for its superhydrophobicity. This special feature is …

Because of the severe corrosion of marine structural steel under the splash zone, it is
proposed to prepare surface textures in widely used epoxy resin (ER) coatings to improve …

Direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) is applied on additively manufactured near-beta
Ti-13Nb-13Zr using nanosecond (ns) and picosecond (ps) pulses to tune its surface …

The present work focuses on analyzing the tribological performance of dual-textured Ti-6Al-
4 V surfaces. The study revealed that for varying loads of 10 N, 20 N, and 30 N, the …
