Bringing the Direct Laser Interference Patterning Method to Industry: a One Tool-Complete Solution for Surface Functionalization

Polymerization catalyst laser-interference patterning.

The binding of molecular polymerization catalysts to solid supports, in the form of microporous particles or also flat substrates, has been extensively studied. 11 .] The primary aim is to gain control of the morphology of the polymer formed directly during polymerization. This approach can be convenient, for example, in saving additional processing steps if the polymer is formed directly in th...

Nanosecond Laser Surface Patterning of Bio Grade 316L Stainless Steel for Controlling its Wettability Characteristics

In this work, potential of the nanosecond laser processing technique on manipulating the surface wettability of 316L bio grade stainless steel is investigated. Results show that the steel wettability toward water, improves significantly after the laser treatment. Different analyses are assessed in correlation with wettability using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Scanning Tunneling Microsco...

Excimer Laser Ablation – a Novel Patterning Solution for Advanced Packaging

Patterning the surface roughness of a nano fibrous scaffold for transdermal drug release

The main objective of this paper was to manipulate the Nano Fibrous Scaffold "NFS" surface roughness to achieve a new transdermal drug release profile. To assess the intrinsic mechanical properties of Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam, such as its proper resiliency, it was considered as the matrix. Cetirizine was used as a drug model and was loaded (1% w/v) to polymer solution (30%w/v) before spinning...
