TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate laser surface modification of silicone rubber using an economic and efficient nanosecond fiber laser and show that the resulting surface morphology shows that micro-nano structures leading to an increase in the surface slope were formed after processing.

TL;DR: The laser-processed aluminum plate has several advantages of high porosity, high surface of superhydrophobic properties, and easy tunable structures, and should be appropriately adjusted according to specific conditions, such as different oils, the mixing ratios, etc., to obtain the best separation efficiency and speed.

TL;DR: In this article, the superhydrophobic surfaces of silicone rubber with different microstructure were directly prepared by texturing with a nanosecond fiber laser, which results in a smaller contact area with the water droplet due to greater roughness and root mean square slope.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different Cr/C ratios on the microstructure, microhardness, and corrosion resistance of Ni-based laser clad hardfacings, reinforced by in situ synthesized chromium carbide particles, was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a measuring method for the determination of error motions of linear stages based on non-diffracting beams (NDB) is presented, where a right-angle prism and a beam splitter are adopted as the measuring head, which is fixed on the moving stage in order to sense the straightness and angular errors.
