Chapter 6 aims to provide a general and concise overview of surface characterization techniques, which are useful to understand the effect of laser surface texturing, both on the micro- and nano-scale. The chapter begins with describing wettability theories and their link to the results of experimental investigations on laser surface texturing. The chapter then focuses on methods of investigation that allow qualitative and quantitative detection of superficial morphology changes. Finally, attention is given to investigations concerning the possible chemical modifications, due to oxidation states or any type of interactions of the surface layers, with the surrounding environment.

Abstract
Chapter 6 aims to provide a general and concise overview of surface characterization techniques, which are useful to understand the effect of laser surface texturing, both on the micro- and nano-scale. The chapter begins with describing wettability theories and their link to the results of experimental investigations on laser surface texturing. The chapter then focuses on methods of investigation that allow qualitative and quantitative detection of superficial morphology changes. Finally, attention is given to investigations concerning the possible chemical modifications, due to oxidation states or any type of interactions of the surface layers, with the surrounding environment.
