Abstract
Poly (tetrafluorethylene) and polyimide samples were irradiated by a p ulsed laser source at 308 nm and the resulting surface morphology was investigated. The photoablated surfaces show a strong dependence on th e optical and structural parameters of the polymers. The roughness of the fractal surfaces has been characterized by means of calculating th eir fractal dimensions and the results are interpreted as a function o f the polymer physical parameters.
