Colored Poly(vinyl chloride) by Femtosecond Laser Machining
Abstract
Colored poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was fabricated by femtosecond laser micromachining without the addition of chemical colorants, eliminating the concern of leaching dyes and pigments. We determined that the changes in surface chemistry and surface topography both contribute to the observed yellow, brown, and black color formation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on the machined samples showed that conjugated double bonds are liable for …
