METHOD AND DEVICE FOR WETTABILITY MODIFICATION OF MATERIALS

摘要

A method and device are presented for modifying parameters of a solid material. This is implemented by applying radiation, such as photon flux and/or charged particle beam and/or heat, to at least a region of the material, and controlling at least one parameter of the applied radiation, thereby modifying a wettability property of the material within the irradiated region(s) thereof in a reversible manner.
