Abstract (en)

A method of curing polymer coatings by laser photochemistry in which UV laser irradiation of the coating containing a photoinitiator sensitive to a selected wavelength of the laser light effects a low energy cure of the coatings. The total energy to effect a cure is markedly reduced by applying a series of pulses of the laser light at a low single pulse fluence. A reduction of the single pulse fluence at a constant pulse repetition rate or a reduction of the pulse repetition rate at a constant single pulse fluence tends to further reduce the total energy required to effect a cure of the coating.
