Plastic vs. Light Sabers – We show laser treatment of plastic materials

Laser radiation is commonly used for plastics for cutting and engraving. We demonstrate both applications with concrete examples and introduce the basics of the interaction of laser light and plastics.

description

The usual laser processing methods involve ablation (vaporization) of material. At the IPF, a method was developed that allows selective chemical surface modification by mild laser irradiation. The modification can serve as a precursor for further coatings.
