| description | Surface fouling is a major challenge faced within various engineering applications, especially in marine, aerospace, water treatment, food and beverage, and the energy generation sectors. This can be prevented or reduced in various ways by creating artificial surface textures which have fouling resistance properties. Ultrafast laser texturing provides an efficient method for the texturing of surfaces of different materials with high accuracy, precision, and repeatability. Laser texturing methods can enhance the production of well-defined surface nano- and microscale patterns. These surfaces with nano- and micro-scale patterning can be tailored to have inherent properties such as hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and resistance to fouling. This review gives an overview of the various types of fouling that can occur, the properties affecting a surface's fouling resistance, as well as the latest physical and chemical strategies for the generation of antifouling surfaces. Surfaces architectures which have inherent antifouling capabilities are presented. This review focuses on the utilization of the higher precision laser-based texturing offered from femtosecond laser systems for enhance fouling resistance. The process parameters to fabricate these textures and the current state of art femtosecond laser sources are presented and discussed. The challenges and future research requirements in the field of laser-based methods to fabricate antifouling surfaces are presented. |
