Laser Dyes Types and Their Impact on Polymer Nanocomposites: A Review

Abstract

This study addresses the classification of laser dyes and nanocomposites that are mixed with polymeric materials, as they are compounds that occupy a scientific position in laser applications and are of great importance in various applications. This review addresses the different types of laser dyes and the wavelengths at which they operate, as well as the polymers used in them, focusing on their thermal sensitivity, in addition to nanomaterial composites. The study included a review of previous research that is studied in this field and its review, especially studies that explore the areas of sustainable development and the practical applications of renewable energies aimed at improving the efficiency of solar cells and gas sensors. In this review, the properties and details of the wavelengths of laser dyes and different types of polymers were studied, and the sensitivity of these polymeric compounds to the heat added to them was addressed. In addition, the polymeric compounds were classified into groups according to their use, thus obtaining more accurate details about the process of improving methods of searching for more effective and more suitable materials in practical applications.
