Bionic designs that mimic insects' utilization of the Marangoni effect for rapid movement on water surfaces have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their critical applications in military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and biomedical engineering, among others. This study presents a method for fabricating swimmers with a super-alcoholophilic (SAL) surface using femtosecond laser technology, enabling the rapid movement of the swimmers on water. By modifying the dimensions of the swimmers and the SAL surface area, we investigate the resulting variations in the motion characteristics of the swimmers. Our findings indicate the similarity of speed profile characteristics between swimmers of varying widths, each designed with a corresponding base length of triangular SAL surface. A maximum linear speed of 393 mm/s was achieved by adjusting the width of the swimmers and the base length. The clockwise or anticlockwise spiral motion is also realized for the swimmers, while the rotor achieving high-speed rotation. This study offers foundational insights into the motion characteristics, informing the design and development of future bio-inspired Marangoni swimmers.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
