Influence of surface wettability on the tribological properties of laser textured Co-Cr-Mo alloy in aqueous bovine serum albumin solution

► Surfaces ranging from CA = 21.5° to CA = 142.2° were obtained by LST and FAS. ► The surface with circle dimples shows the most stable wettability. ► Wetting stability can be used as a criterion for the tribological properties. ► The textured wetting stability surface has well wear-resistance behaviors.
