Abstract

Femtosecond laser is a potential tool for net shape processing of biodegradable polymers. However, laser processing of polymeric material is still a challenge and the effects induced by laser ablation needs to be investigated. Poly(ฮตโ€caprolactone) was micromachined at high fluence and the heat affected zone was characterized. Two different phases of microstructure, namely the annealed spherulite zone and the amorphous zone, are found.

Shape transformation of silver nanoprisms in aqueous solution was studied using femtosecond laser pulses. Irradiation of a pulsed Ti:Sapphire laser at 800 nm caused the shape change of the nanoprisms from triangle into sphere, forming a stable colloid of a narrow size distribution with the particle
