    　View Summary

    This chapter presents the carbonization and graphitization of polymer materials through laser-based degradation to fabricate conductive structures. The fundamentals of degradation are first explained based on the thermal degradation and photodegradation of polymers to alter the chemical structures to form carbon-rich products. This process yields electrically conductive graphitic carbon under certain conditions. By using a laser as an energy source for the degradation, spatially targeted areas on bendable and stretchable elastomers can be altered to conductive structures that can be used in flexible electronics. Although laser-induced carbonization and graphitization can be traced back to the 1980s, research in this field was revived in the mid-2010s, and increased attention has been paid since then. Fundamental studies along with material analyses and applications of the formed conductive structures in various devices, such as supercapacitors, strain sensors, and bioelectronic devices, are also reviewed in this chapter. In addition, laser degradation of poly-dimethylsiloxane, which is a versatile polymer for flexible devices, and natural materials, such as cellulose, are highlighted as emerging precursors of laser-induced conductive structures.

    　View Summary

    Thermoresponsive hydrogels, which exhibit changes in their optical properties and volume due to temperature variations, are promising candidates for applications in soft devices. In this study, we demonstrate the modulation of transmittance in a thermoresponsive hydrogel through light stimulation employing gold microstructures fabricated via multiphoton photoreduction. The spatial integration of photoresponsiveness, attributed to high-density gold nanoparticles within the thermoresponsive hydrogel, was accomplished through the high-speed laser scanning of femtosecond laser pulses. The temperature measurement during the fabrication of the gold microstructure revealed that the high-speed and multiple scanning over the same path effectively reduced the temperature in the irradiated area of femtosecond laser pulses. The present approach enabled the mitigation of thermal effects during the fabrication, resulting in minimizing distortion in the fine lines of the structures. Upon exposure to stimulus light, a rapid change in the transmittance of the region where the structures were fabricated was prominently observed. The present method unveils a promising avenue for the advancement of light-responsive soft devices.

  • Temperature measurement and morphological/crystalline differences in the laser-induced carbonization of polydimethylsiloxane

    M. Kai, S. Hayashi, K. Kashikawa, M. Terakawa

    Optical Materials Express (OPTICA)  14 ( 4 ) 955 - 964 2024.03

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  20102690

    　View Summary

    Laser-induced carbonization, which allows for the facile generation of graphitic carbon, is considered a promising technique for fabricating arbitrary conductive microstructures. The morphology and crystallinity of the resulting product are acknowledged to be significantly influenced by laser irradiation conditions. However, unlike discussions pertaining to furnaces where detailed considerations of applied temperature and resulting products are common, discussions on the process of laser-induced carbonization are limited. In recent years, reports have shown that using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a precursor material not only produces graphitic carbon but also results in the formation of silicon carbide. In this study, we utilized a thermographic camera to measure temperature changes during laser-induced carbonization, aiming to elucidate the correlation between PDMS temperature fluctuations and the morphology and crystallinity of the resulting graphitic carbon. The results demonstrate that the morphology and crystallinity of the graphitic carbon formed through laser-induced carbonization are not solely determined by the maximum temperature in the laser-irradiated area. The temperature changes during laser irradiation play a crucial role in the selective generation of these materials.

  • Defect-initiated formation mechanism of 3D carbon tracks on flexible transparent substrates by laser irradiation

    S. Hayashi, X. Du, M. Rupp, K. A. Filsinger, M. Terakawa, C. B. Arnold

    Optics and Laser Technology (ELSEVIER)  174   110686 2024.02

    Joint Work, Accepted,  ISSN  00303992

    　View Summary

    Laser direct writing of 3D carbon structures onto flexible polymer substrates offers potential of rapid roll-to-roll manufacturing for a variety of key applications, including large area sensors, flexible electronics, robotics, energy storage/conversion, and other consumer applications. The specific formation mechanism of the carbon structures has been an issue of debate for many years with the prevailing notion of a simple photothermal conversion reaction that mainly depends on the total energy input. However, this view has been shown to be inconsistent with experimental observations of nonlinear changes in the resulting structures when multiple processing parameters are simultaneously changed. In this study, we propose a formation mechanism based on the nucleation and growth of laser-induced defects, which is experimentally validated by irradiating a continuous wave laser beam onto polydimethylsiloxane. The model is further validated by intentionally introducing controlled defects by femtosecond laser irradiation, and indicate the implications of a two-laser laser direct writing technique to go beyond the current processing limits. These results clarify the previously ambiguous mechanisms by which carbon structures form under laser irradiation and provide a deeper understanding of how to control photothermal processes for advanced material processing.

  • Laser-induced formation of fine porous graphitic carbon for eco-friendly supercapacitors

    M. Kato, S. Hayashi, R. Funayama, Y. Kondo, Y. Hattori, M. Terakawa

    Advanced Engineering Materials (Wiley)   2024

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  14381656

    　View Summary

    An electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), which is one of the pivotal energy storage devices, provides rapid charge–discharge capabilities and an extended cycle life. Areal capacitance, a key indicator of EDLC performance, increases with the specific surface area of its electrodes. This study demonstrates a method for significantly increasing the specific surface area in the laser-induced graphitization of biodegradable polymers by incorporating NaHCO3 into the composite sheet, generating not only microscale pores but also a large number of nanoscale fine pores. Furthermore, it shows that using these structures as EDLC electrodes leads to a substantial increase in areal capacitance. An increase in the number of fine pores formed in the structure and a corresponding rise in the areal capacitance of the fabricated EDLC are observed with the increase in the NaHCO3 weight ratio. Notably, the composite sheets are composed of natural-derived, biodegradable materials, while NaHCO3 is known for its low corrosivity and biotoxicity. The proposed method thus offers a pathway for fabricating energy storage devices with minimal environmental impact, ensuring their eco-friendly disposal post-use.

    　View Summary

    © 2018 by the authors. Biodegradable polymers have attracted increasing attention in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems owing to their high biocompatibility and biodegradability. Among the various methods for shape forming and modification of biodegradable polymers, laser processing has advantages in a dry processing approach that can process complex-shaped surfaces without using toxic chemical components. This review provides an overview of femtosecond laser processing of biodegradable polymers, especially in the last decade. The interaction mechanism of femtosecond laser pulse and biodegradable polymers, e.g., bond dissociation after laser irradiation, affects the degradable property of biodegradable polymers, which has the potential to control the degradation and sustainability of a structure. Applied studies on controlling cell behavior, tissue scaffolding, and drug release are also described.
