Radio frequency excited carbon dioxide laser processing of carbon fibre reinforced composites : experimental and theoretical analyses of the fume content and expansion dynamics

In this thesis a detailed analysis of long pulse CO₂ laser interactions with carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) is presented. In particular, the fume dynamics and the fume contents are determined. Knowledge of both of these aspects of laser processing of CFRPs is important for the de...
