This paper presents a new and safe method of fabricating super-hydrophobic surface on NiTi Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) ,which aims to further improve the corrosion resistance performance and biocompatibility of NiTi SMA.The super-hydrophobic surfaces with Water Contact Angle (WCA) of 155.4° ± 0.9° and Water Sliding Angle (WSA) of 4.4°±1.1° were obtained by the hybrid of laser irradiation and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) modification.The forming mechanism was systematically revealed via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) .The anti-corrosion of samples was investigated in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) via the potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) tests.PDMS super-hydrophobic coatings showed superior anti-corrosion performance.The Ni ions release experiment was also conducted and the corresponding result demonstrated that the super-hydrophobic samples effectively inhibited the release of Ni ions both in electrolyte and SBF.Besides,biocompatibility was further analyzed,indicating that the prepared super-hydrophobic surfaces present a huge potential advantage in biocompatibility.
