V. Doblies et al., INVESTIGATIONS ON ADHESION OF PIGMENT PRI NTINGS BY UV-LASER TREATMENT, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 340(1), 1998, pp. 45-50
Investigations on the influence of UV-laser treatment of polyethylenet
erephthalate and polyamide fibers and foils on the adhesion properties
of pigment printings are presented. It could be shown that even irrad
iation with low energy densities and low number of pulses applied incr
eases binder film adhesion very efficiently. Some interpretations of t
he laser action upon adhesion improvement related to surface modificat
ion are presented.
