    Abstract Flow boiling heat transfer is an effective way to fulfill the energy transfer. The wettability of boiling surface influences the liquid spreading ability and the growth, departure, and release frequency of bubbles, which determines the heat transfer performance. According to the wettability and combination forms, boiling surface are classified into weak wetting surface, strong wetting surface, and heterogeneous wetting surface. Fabricating by physical, chemical method or coating the original surface with a layer of low surface energy, the weak wetting surface has more effective activation point and nucleation center density to improve heat transfer performance at low heat flux.
