Ultra-short laser-based sustainable structuring of polypropylene surfaces for frequently touched superficies

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this study, the influence of femtosecond and picosecond laser processing parameters on the surface morphology and wettability properties of polypropylene for future application in the design of persistent bacteria-free frequently touched surfaces was investigated. It is identified that the morphology and wettability of laser-induced surface structures created can be efficiently tuned by adapting the laser processing parameters to create structures, which could possess antibacterial properties.
