In this study, a simple approach is developed to fabricate hierarchical structures on polymer surfaces to alter their surface wettability. Laser-based texturing methods, including Direct Laser Engraving (DLE) and Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP), were used to fabricate metallic masters for replication of microstructures on polymers. Firstly, DLE was used to create a primary, relatively large scale roughness on Cr plates. Afterward, periodic hole-like microstructures (secondary roughness) were directly textured over the prior DLE-treated Cr surfaces by using four-beam DLIP. By combing primary and secondary roughness length scales, dual-scale hierarchical roughness can be generated. Besides, by controlling the overlapping angle between the individual beams and the number of laser pulses, the aspect ratio of micropatterns can be tailored between 2% to 49%. During the hot embossing process, the surface relief of the master was transferred into different polymer surfaces (PET, PMMA, and PVC) using heat and pressure. To evaluate the surface wettability, static Water Contact Angles (WCA) of 7 μl-water droplets on three polymer samples were measured. The results show that the contact angle presents an upward trend with the aspect ratio, and the hierarchical structures fabricated by DLE and DLIP exhibit a higher contact angle compared to the DLIP-textured surfaces. Interestingly, the WCA of PET, PMMA, and PVC surfaces imprinted with an identical master structure exhibit a similar value of growth, which was 50⁰, 57.6⁰, and 57.9⁰, respectively, which indicates similar surface structures can lead to similar changes in WCA on different polymers without any chemical modification.
