The article presents a novel method for fabricating substrate-independent superhydrophobic surfaces using femtosecond laser-chemical hybrid processing. The process involves constructing micro/nanostructures on the substrate using femtosecond laser direct writing technology, followed by coating with stearic acid to reduce surface energy and enhance hydrophobicity. The resulting surfaces, denoted as LTx-SA (where x represents different samples), exhibit excellent superhydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. Notably, these surfaces maintain their stability after heating from 20 °C to 100 °C, washing 10 times, and exposure to air for 60 days. This method is applicable to various substrates, including ceramic, titanium, silicon, and quartz glass, making it a versatile and efficient approach for achieving substrate-independent superhydrophobic surfaces.The article presents a novel method for fabricating substrate-independent superhydrophobic surfaces using femtosecond laser-chemical hybrid processing.
