We present results clearly demonstrating passive gradient-driven droplet motion on coating-free all-metal Al-surfaces, produced via laser-etching method.

Development of Coating-free Super Water-repellent Micropatterned Aluminium for Spontaneous Droplet Motion

We investigate the surface wetting properties for a range of micro/nanofabricated topography on aluminium surfaces supported by ion-beam processing to enhance liquid-solid interaction.

Poster Session - T

poster

The International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN), affectionately known as "3-Beams," is the premier gathering of scientists and engineers who are dedicated to electron, ion and photon lithography, imaging, and analysis; atomically precise fabrication; nanofabrication process technologies and related emerging technologies; and their applications in a broad spectrum of fields. In its 64th meeting, researchers from academia, government laboratories, and industry from around the world meet to present and discuss recent and future trends in these technologies.
