Laser marking of polymers

Abstract

Laser marking technology has been in use for the past 50 years, it has become very common and is being utilized in almost every field of industry, i.e., medical, garments, automobiles, aerospace etc. The main aim of this research is to provide an overview of the laser marking, polymer marking done by lasers, techniques involved in laser marking and elaborate the applications of laser marking. This is review-based research, the data was collected from the available publications. For this purpose, data from various online sources were used which include Google Scholar, Wiley Online, Springer, Elsevier etc. In this work, the technology of laser marking has been described from the point of view of the marking of polymers.
