resumo
Laser surface texturing (LST) employs high-energy laser radiation to promote controlled material ablation, enabling the creation of surface features that can significantly enhance material performance. Applications range from friction reduction to improved biological interactions, demonstrating the versatility of LST. While the technique is well established for metals and alloys, its application to ceramics still faces considerable challenges that hinder broader adoption. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of LST applied to ceramics, focusing on laser-ceramic interactions and the key processing parameters that influence surface structuring. Representative examples of functional ceramic surfaces produced via LST are discussed, along with their performance in various domains, including optical, thermal, electronic, electrochemical, biomedical, and tribological applications. This review showcases the huge potential of LST for innovation in ceramics, envisioning future perspectives on the role of LST in ceramic surface engineering.
