Bulk model of laser ablation of polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The model of laser ablation driven by a bulk photothermal reaction is considered. Stationary wave solutions are obtained and analyzed. In the case of a simple photothermal bond-breaking reaction, it is possible to reduce this bulk ablation model to the surface evaporation model with some apparent activation energy. A more complicated model of laser ablation, taking into consideration a photothermal modification of broken bonds within the bulk of material, is also studied. The existence of the second threshold related to multiple-shot and long pulse irradiation experiments has been demonstrated. It is shown that the effect of modification on the ablation kinetics qualitatively depends on the interrelation between activation energies of two considered bulk reactions. q 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملModels for laser ablation of polymers.
UV laser ablation of polymers was discovered 20 years ago.1,2 This effect has many fascinating applications in lithography, micromechanics, and medicine. For the last 20 years, more than 103 papers describing this phenomenon were published (see, e.g., comprehensive reviews, refs 3-7). Despite the high research activity, the nature of UV laser ablation of polymers is still far from being fully u...

We present two simple alternative methods to form polymer-derived carbon nanodomains in a controlled fashion and at low cost, using custom-made chemical vapour deposition and selective laser ablation with a commercial CD-DVD platform. Both processes presented shiny and dark residual materials after the polymer combustion and according to micro-Raman spectroscopy of the domains, graphitic nanocr...
