With the advent of the ruby laser in 1960, there has been tremendous research activity in developing novel, more versatile and more efficient laser sources or devices, as lasers applications are ubiquitous. Today, lasers are used in many areas of human endeavor and are routinely employed in a host of diverse fields: various branches of engineering, microelectronics, biomedical, medicine, dentistry, surgery, surface modification, to name just a few.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book (containing 10 chapters) we have focused on application of lasers in adhesion and related areas. The topics covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTopographical modification of polymers and metals by laser ablation to create superhydrophobic surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNon-ablative laser surface modification.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser surface modification to enhance adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser surface engineering of materials to modulate their wetting behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser surface modification in dentistry.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser polymer welding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser based adhesion testing technique to measure thin film-substrate interface toughness.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser surface removal of hard thin ceramic coatings.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser removal of particles from surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaser induced thin film debonding for micro-device fabrication applications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e K.
