Abstract EN

Self-cleaning surfaces may have wide applications such as microfluidic devices, lab-on-a-chip, sensors, microreactors, air purification, and antimicrobial fields.

In this article, by using a combination of femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation and fluorination technique, self-cleaning stainless steel surfaces with unique antifouling property were obtained.

New insight is developed through a detailed analysis of the antifouling behavior of the self-cleaning surfaces.

The surface free energy and its polar and disperse components were calculated by using the Owens–Wendt-–Rabel–Kaelble (OWRK) method.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to analyse the surface elemental compositions and functional groups.

The antifouling property of the surface was recorded by using a high speed camera.

Water sliding angles (SAs) were reduced by fluorination treatment, resulting in low adhesive superhydrophobic surfaces with the self-cleaning property.

The influences of micro/nanostructures, fluorination, and their combination on the surface free energy were investigated.

The interaction process between water droplets and pollutants (inorganic and organic particles) on the treated surface was explored.

The antifouling property of an optimized specimen (CA = 162° and SA = 1°) was tested and compared with the untreated sample.
