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 paper, the aging characteristics of laser-treated super-hydrophobic silicone rubber surfaces were investigated through accelerated aging tests, which indicated that the super hydrophobic surfaces have excellent anti-aging properties, which is manifested in that even after aging for 1000 h, the contact angles of the superhydrophilic surfaces remain above 140o.
