Surface modification of carbon blackrelastomer composite by excimer laser ablation

Excimer laser ablation of an elastomer composite containing carbon black produced dome-like and cone-like microstructures on the surface at 90 mJ cmy2 and 500 mJ cmy2, respectively. The mechanism for microstructure formation was investigated by scanning electron microscopy SEM.and quadrupole mass spectrometry QMS.. q1998 Elsevier Science B.V
