Laser Surface Texturing of Biodegradable Polymers

Abstract

Surface modification through forming, micro grooving, micro dimples, and microchannel is known as surface texturing. In addition to other related techniques on the substrate surface, laser and micromachining are used to accomplish this. The surface properties of the Arbofill Fichte biodegradable polymer with four and six passes, hexagonal and square patterns, and laser texturing are presented in this study. The results were focused on surface microscopy and topography of the four textured samples. Based on the acquired results, it is also possible to replace non-biodegradable polymers from other areas of activity.
