Composites of bioabsorbable polymer materials and metal materials are expected to enhance the functionality of medical devices. Laser ablation is useful for the microfabrication of medical device materials because it can be processed only by the difference in light transmission, but it is necessary to consider the difference in thermal properties such as melting point and thermal conductivity of both materials. In this study, we investigated the effect of laser ablation processing on the polymer/metal material in bioabsorbable polymer/metal composites.
