Abstract
Fabrication of microstructures on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can enhance the surface properties of materials. Femtosecond laser processing technology allows direct model-free fabrication of microstructures on PDMS surfaces. Here, the influence of laser fluence on microgroove dimensions is investigated and the formation mechanism of microgroove morphology at different fluences is also explained. A superhydrophobic surface is fabricated on PDMS by femtosecond laser processing of microgroove arrays. These laser process parameters can guide the fabrication of microstructures on PDMS to promote its application in the functional surfaces field.
