The effects of high power diode laser radiation on the wettability, adhesion and bonding characteristics of an alumina/silica-based oxide and vitreous enamel [PDF]
An amalgamated alumina/silica-based oxide compound (AOC) was surface treated using a 60 W high power diode laser (HPDL). The effects of HPDL radiation on the wettability and adhesion characteristics of the AOC and a vitreous enamel have been determined.
