This book documents the proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Polymer
Surface Modification: Relevance to Adhesion held under the auspices of MST Conferences …

This report reviews papers, which were published since the beginning of 2004, and focuses
on works related to “pure” laser ablation of polymers rather than closely related topics such …

In this work, a short review is presented for results utilizing the technique of laser-assisted
metallization of dielectrics. Experimental efforts and results related to the metal (palladium …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), due to its excellent mechanical and physico-chemical
parameters, is an attractive substitute for hard tissues in orthopedic applications. However …

Systematic experimental studies of KrF laser microdrilling in polymers (PMMA, PET, PS, PC,
PI, PEEK) have led to high-aspect-ratio microholes (up to 600) in a final stationary profile …

Surface modification and micro-structuring of polymers for different application is mainly
performed using ultraviolet (UV) radiation from excimer lamps or excimer lasers. In this case …

In this work, the effect of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation and the combination of EUV
radiation and low-temperature nitrogen plasma on the physico-chemical properties of …

Spike-shaped structures are produced by light-driven ablation in very different contexts.
Penitentes<? format?> 1–4 m high are common on Andean glaciers, where their formation …

Arrays of conical-like spikes can be formed on silicon surface after irradiated with
femtosecond laser pulses in ambient of SF6 or N2. In this article, we report our observations …
