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

A facile and highly efficient method for adhesion improvement of PET/TPU laminates was
introduced. A considerable improvement in adhesion was achieved by treating PET fabric …

Silicon has been a primary material for fabrication of microelectromechanical systems
(microfluidic devices in MEMS) for several decades. This is due to the fact that the MEMS …

A method for fabricating microlenses in polycarbonate material is reported. Using a direct-
write technique based on scanning excimer laser ablation with a circular beam, we can etch …

Ever increasing technological and environmental needs pose significant demands on the
removal of unwanted material from substrates. Laser irradiation has been shown to afford a …

Hierarchical structures are promising geometries for superhydrophobic surfaces, however a
processing method with a single laser light source that is capable of both one-pass and …

Multiple pulse laser ablation of stretched PET is performed with an ArF excimer laser (193
nm) in order to produce micro channels. The surface structure remaining after “scanning …

In this work, we present the experimental results of micromachining into polymethy-
methacrylate exposed to oblique KrF excimer laser beams. The results of low-aspect-ratio …

Time-resolved investigations of solid and liquid phase ablation on the same sample
(polyethylene-glycol (PEG) 1000) is presented in this paper. Because this polymer has a …

Multiple pulse laser ablation of biaxially stretched poly (ethylene therephthalate)(PET) was
performed in air with a standard ArF excimer laser (193 nm) to produce micro …
