Download or read book Laser Surface Modification and Adhesion written by K. L. Mittal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
