silver nanoparticles (nps) have been the subjects of researchers because of their unique properties ( e.g., size and shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties). a variety of preparation techniques have been reported for the synthesis of silver nps; notable examples include, laser ablation, gamma irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods...

Laser-induced technological chemical processes can significantly contribute to the development of new methods for micro treatment of materials and hence to the broadening of the application spectrum of laser microtechnology. In this paper three typical laser-activated chemical technological methods in liquids, gases and solids and their possible applications are presented and discussed: First, ...

background and aims: although dental caries is a preventable disease, it is still common and remains a public health problem. one of the potentially effective preventive measures is laser irradiation. raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying the microcrystalline structure of dental enamel. the study assessed the chemical alterations occurring in enamel irradiated with er:yag or n...

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...
