Figure 9-13 (c) Surface modification by light can value to existing
products, xerve as the value basis for new products, or be incorporated
into special interfaces of pacaging materails or structrual composites.
In this application, surface amorphization (carefully tailored light energy
absorption in the transfromed region in the surface layers of a polymeric
material) produces greater adhesion, with the additional benfit of eliminating
the environmental cost of processing with wet chemistry. (CEBAF, Newport
News, Virginia.)
