To improve printing results, a printing form can be functionalized and the material transferring behavior can be adjusted. In this work, a flexographic printing form is divided into three different areas: first the elevated, material transferring structures (1); second the rising edges between the printing form substrate and the elevated structures (2); and third the transition area (3) between (1) and (2). These three areas are laser functionalized by inserting a defined micropattern. Subsequently, the printing results are investigated and categorized into groups. The groups indicate which functionalized surfaces (1, 2, and 3) have what kind of influence on the printing result. As part of a low cost and efficient approach to manufacture polymeric optical waveguides, a way is presented to show how the waviness of printed conditioning lines can be reduced significantly by laser functionalizing to improve the quality of the waveguides.

用于聚合物光波导增材制造过程的柔版印刷版的表征和功能化

为了改善印刷效果，可以对印刷形式进行功能化，并可以调整材料的传输行为。在这项工作中，苯胺印刷形式分为三个不同的区域：第一，高架的材料转移结构（1）；第二，高架材料转移结构。第二，在印刷模板基材和凸起结构之间的上升边缘（2）；第三是（1）和（2）之间的过渡区域（3）。通过插入定义的微图案，可以对这三个区域进行激光功能化。随后，将打印结果进行调查并归类。这些组指示哪些功能化表面（1、2和3）对打印结果有什么样的影响。作为制造聚合物光波导的低成本高效方法的一部分，
