 | Edited by K.L. Mittal and Thomas Bahners Series: Adhesion and Adhesives: Fundamental and Applied Aspects Copyright: 2014 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781118831632 | Hardcover | 428 pages Price: $200.95 USD  |
One Line Description
The book contains a wealth of information on fundamental and applied aspects of laser surface modification in an easily accessible, unified and comprehensive manner
Audience
The book will be of critical importance to researchers in materials science, physics and chemistry, as well as R&D personnel in a host of industries (e.g., microelectronics, automotive, packaging, adhesive bonding, printing, metallized plastics, aerospace, dentistry, textiles, biomedical) where manufacturing success depends on suitable surface modification.

Description
The book provides a unique overview on laser techniques and applications for the purpose of improving adhesion by altering surface chemistry and topography/morphology of the substrate. It details laser surface modification techniques for a wide range of industrially relevant materials (plastics, metals, ceramics, composites) with the aim to improve and enhance their adhesion to other materials; the joining of different materials is of critical importance in the fabrication of many and varied products.
Laser Surface Modification and Adhesion is divided into two parts: Part 1: Laser Surface Treatment/Modification to Enhance Adhesion, and Part 2: Other Effects/Implications of Laser Surface Treatment. The topics covered include:
• Nd:YAG laser surface treatment of various materials to enhance adhesion
• effects of excimer laser treatment on self-adhesion strength of some commodity and engineering plastics
• laser surface pretreatment of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics for adhesive bonding
• laser surface modification of fibers for improving fiber-resin interfacial interactions
in composites
• effect of laser surface modification on the adhesion of dental restorative materials
• fundamentals of laser-polymer interactions and their relevance to polymer metallization
• laser patterning of carbon/polymer bipolar plates for fuel cell applications
• parameters governing the wettability characteristics of laser modified engineering materials
• laser surface engineering of polymeric materials and the effects on wettability characteristics
• water adhesion to laser-treated surfaces.
