Article Abstract
Surface microtexture, as a branch of surface engineering, has always been an active research object due to its ability to significantly improve matrix properties. Especially by combining surface microtextures with biomimetics, the concept of surface microtextures has been greatly expanded. The emergence of biomimetic microtextures has also endowed mechanical components with better tribological properties and longer service life. This article reviews the preparation techniques of surface microtextures and summarizes the advantages and limitations of various microtexture preparation techniques. We discuss the morphologies of different biomimetic microtextures and the unique properties they impart to the substrate surface, explore the influence of biomimetic microtexture morphology and size parameters on their tribological properties, and reveal the mechanism of biomimetic microtextures applied to cutting tool surfaces. Finally, the application of biomimetic microtextures in cutting tools is prospected.

Titanium alloys have limited applications due to their poor friction performance. Inspired by the scale structures on biological surfaces in nature, laser surface texturing technology was employed to fabricate diamond-shaped biomimetic micro-textures with different angles and area densities on the surface of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). The coupling effect of scale-like biomimetic micro-textures and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings on the frictional properties of Ti6Al4V were explored.

Smart fiber actuators with self-sensing and intelligent actuation can perceive environmental changes and respond with real-time movements. Herein, Janus-core composite microfibers (JCCMFs), consisting of a Janus NIR-driven active-passive core and a self-healable hydrogel shell, are fabricated through a microfluidic process. The resulting JCCMFs can perform rapid NIR-driven bending within 6 s and achieve fast self-healing within 5 min.

In the domain of surface engineering, certain additive manufacturing technologies have established themselves as efficient and sustainable solutions. Mask stereolithography (MSLA) has gained prominence, especially when combined with the electroforming process for the production of microtextured copper electrodes. These electrodes are of particular interest in die sinking EDM (SEDM) applications, where high precision in geometry and microtextures is required, and alternative manufacturing technologies often struggle to meet these demands.
