| Abstract Scope |
Matrix-supported pulsed laser evaporation has many advantages over dip coating, Langmuir-Blodgett dip coating, and spin coating for the production of drug-containing coatings. The thickness of the coating can be adjusted by modifying the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation processing parameters. It should be noted that matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation allows for precise control over the roughness of the coating. In addition, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation is a coating method that does not involve heating the biological molecules. In recent studies, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation was used to grow coatings of several types of antimicrobial drugs as well as an antiproliferative drug. The results of in vitro testing show that drug-containing coatings deposited using the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation process exhibited appropriate biological functionality. The results of these studies indicate that matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation process may be useful for the deposition of drug-containing coatings for a variety of medical applications. |
