Abstract:
Laser radiation forces applied in fully transparent, highly entangled semi-dilute polymer solutions generate freestanding, threedimensional, micro- and, potentially, nano-solids. The underlying phenomena are attributed to a synergy of effects involving the radiation forces exerted by milliwatt laser beams on polymer chains and the entanglement of macromolecules. Most importantly, since the primary ...
