Laser structuring of magnetorheological elastomers for smart multifunctional surfacesKravanja, Gaia (Avtor) Jezeršek, Matija (Mentor) Chamonine, Mikhail (Komentor) magnetorheological elastomersmart surfacelaser ablationadaptive structuredroplet manipulationsubstance transportThe aim of the doctoral thesis is to develop a laser micromachining technique for fabricating functional surface microstructures on magneto responsive materials, known as magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). As part of the doctoral research, studies have been conducted on the state of the art of laser microstructuring technologies, magnetorheological material processing and active surface control techniques. An experimental setup was developed to establish the processing parameters, demonstrating the feasibility of direct laser processing for creating microstructured surfaces. Theoretical and experimental investigations were conducted on lamellar microstructure deflection under static and rotating magnetic fields, highlighting their potential for adaptive surface design. The tuneability of the laser-micromachined surfaces was validated through experiments, showcasing the ability to control the sliding angle of water droplets by varying the orientation of the applied magnetic field and demonstrating the possibility of selective substance transport.20252025-07-10 07:30:07Doktorsko delo/naloga170576UDK: 544.537:678.074:620.3(043.3)VisID: 271448COBISS_ID: 244832771sl
