Expedited Transition in the Wettability Response of Metal Meshes Structured by Femtosecond Laser Pulses for Oil-Water Separation

Oil-water separation using super-wetting and the selective permeability of membranes for oil or water has great ecological and economic significance. We report on the transition of wettability response, from superhydrophilic underwater-superoleophobic to superhydrophobic-superoleophilic state, by na...
