Chapter 5 aims to introduce and describe in depth the process of surface nanostructuring of metallic, polymeric, and composite materials by using different laser sources. Laser-induced surface texturing at the micro- and nano-scale is a new technology in the service of surface engineering, with the possibility of creating very fine structures with extremely high resolution. The superficial material changes focused on are wettability properties and modification of surface roughness. The chapter also gives an analysis of how these changes increase the adhesion properties of surfaces for applications in the field of structural bonding. Specific sections of the chapter discuss changes in the durability behavior of adhesive-bonded joints.

Abstract
Chapter 5 aims to introduce and describe in depth the process of surface nanostructuring of metallic, polymeric, and composite materials by using different laser sources. Laser-induced surface texturing at the micro- and nano-scale is a new technology in the service of surface engineering, with the possibility of creating very fine structures with extremely high resolution. The superficial material changes focused on are wettability properties and modification of surface roughness. The chapter also gives an analysis of how these changes increase the adhesion properties of surfaces for applications in the field of structural bonding. Specific sections of the chapter discuss changes in the durability behavior of adhesive-bonded joints.
