Abstract

Laser material processing is an innovative technology that generates surface functionalities on the basis of optical, mechanical, or chemical properties [...]

Highlights

  • In the form of laser surface texturing (LST), it has attracted a remarkable amount of research to tailor surface properties towards various tribological applications [2]

  • This Special Issue, “Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Nano- and Microstructures for Tribological Applications” [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] focuses on the latest developments concerning the tribological performance of laser-generated periodic surface nano-/microstructures and their applications

  • This includes the laser-based processing of different surface patterns, such as “self-organized” laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS, ripples) [12], grooves, micro-spikes, hierarchical hybrid nano-/microstructures, microfeatures generated by direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) [13], and even dimples or other topographic geometries shaped by direct laser modification or ablation

Introduction

This Special Issue, “Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Nano- and Microstructures for Tribological Applications” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/lubricants/special_issues/laser_periodic) [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] focuses on the latest developments concerning the tribological performance of laser-generated periodic surface nano-/microstructures and their applications. Laser material processing is an innovative technology that generates surface functionalities on the basis of optical, mechanical, or chemical properties [1]. In the form of laser surface texturing (LST), it has attracted a remarkable amount of research to tailor surface properties towards various tribological applications [2].
