(a) Measured surface roughness Sa of the laser textured copper (Cu) and titanium (Ti) surfaces as a function of scanning speed vx. The roughness of the unprocessed initial surfaces is shown as dotted lines. (b) Measured contact angle of DI water as a function of surface roughness of copper and titanium surfaces textured with different scanning speeds and coated with PTFE. The contact angle area of a superhydrophobic state (θ > 150°) is indicated in green.
