Abstract
We report a simple method to fabricate superamphiphobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces by femtosecond laser direct irradiation. After femtosecond laser direct writing, a dual-scale composite structure combined a groove-like microstructure with a lamellar submicron structure forms on the PTFE surface, enhancing its hydrophobic properties with a contact angle increasing from 109° to 156.88°, as well as exhibiting transition from intrinsic oleophilicity to superoleophobicity. Meanwhile, the wettability of the surface can be tuned by changing the roughness and the interval between two adjacent micro-grooves. Furthermore, we also explain the relationship between the interval width and the contact angle using the Cassie⿿Baxter model.
