2021, Applied Surface ScienceCitation Excerpt :As a promising surface treatment method, laser is widely used due to its high energy density, high operating speed, etc. P. Laurens et al. [22] studied the morphology of PEEK surface after laser treatment with an excimer laser (193 nm), the results showed that amorphization occurred when the laser fluence was lower than the ablation threshold. A significant increase in surface roughness was achieved for the laser fluence above the ablation threshold due to the formation of conical structures.

2018, Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Studies have shown that excimer laser radiation (UV laser) below the ablation threshold can significantly improve the adhesive bonding properties of PEEK. The fracture energy of PEEK to epoxy adhesives can be increased in 10 times by using UV laser (Laurens et al., 1998). Morphological changes such as removal of weak boundary layers through evaporation, modification of surface chemistry and increase in roughness, are some phenomena induced by UV laser (Rotel et al., 2000).
