“…8,[13][14][15] The feasibility of the technique for depositing these materials has been proved through the fabrication of diverse functional devices such as microbatteries, 11 solar cells, 16 organic light-emitting diodes, 17 or biosensors. 18,19 Such interesting features prompted several studies on the transfer process which takes place during the LIFT of liquids. These studies 9,10,14,15,20 were mainly focused on the analysis of the effects that different technological parameters have on the morphology of the transferred material.…”

Time-resolved imaging is carried out to study the dynamics of the laser-induced forward transfer of an aqueous solution at different laser fluences. The transfer mechanisms are elucidated, and directly correlated with the material deposited at the analyzed irradiation conditions. It is found that there exists a fluence range in which regular and well-defined droplets are deposited. In this case, laser pulse energy absorption results in the formation of a plasma, which expansion originates a cavitation bubble in the liquid. After the further expansion and collapse of the bubble, a long and uniform jet is developed, which advances at a constant velocity until it reaches the receptor substrate. On the other hand, for lower fluences no material is deposited. In this case, although a jet can be also generated, it recoils before reaching the substrate. For higher fluences, splashing is observed on the receptor substrate due to the bursting of the cavitation bubble. Finally, a discussion of the possible mechanisms which lead to such singular dynamics is also provided.

“…The feasibility of LIFT to print patterns of individual droplets has been extensively demonstrated [8,9,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and in addition, the mechanisms responsible for droplet formation have been widely investigated by time resolved imaging studies [19][20][21][22][23]. Moreover, the next step forward with respect to droplet deposition is the printing of defect-free continuous, uniform, and stable lines.…”

“…As an alternative to conventional printing techniques, laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) has been demonstrated to be feasible for printing biomolecules [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], biomolecule structures [14], as well as cells [15], and micro-organisms [16,17]. In LIFT, a laser beam is focused or imaged through a transparent support onto the backside of a metallic or polymer thin film [11,14,16] coated with the material to be transferred.…”

The possibility of printing two-dimensional micro patterns of biomolecule solutions is of great interest in many fields of research in biomedicine, from cell-growth and development studies, to the investigation of the mechanisms of communication between cells. Although laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) has been extensively used to print micrometric droplets of biological solutions, the fabrication of complex patterns depends on the feasibility of the technique to print micron-sized lines of aqueous solutions.In this study we investigate such a possibility through the analysis of the influence of droplet spacing of a water and glycerol solution on the morphology of the features printed by LIFT. We prove that it is indeed possible to print long and uniform continuous lines by controlling the overlap between adjacent droplets. We show how depending on droplet spacing, several printed morphologies are generated, and we offer, in addition, a simple explanation of the observed behavior based on the jetting dynamics characteristic of the LIFT of liquids.

“…Other drawbacks that restrict the application of these methods are related to the choice of the solvent or liquid media issues during multilayer assembling, difficulties in obtaining largearea uniform thin coatings, or that the methods are time-and material-consuming [73][74][75][76][77].…”

Recent Advances in Biopolymers

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter provides an overview of recent advances in the field of laser-based synthesis of biopolymer thin films for biomedical applications. The introduction addresses the importance of biopolymer thin films with respect to several applications like tissue engineering, cell instructive environments, and drug delivery systems. The next section is devoted to applications of the fabrication of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic coatings. Matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) and Combinatorial-MAPLE are introduced and compared with other conventional methods of thin films assembling on solid substrates. Advantages and limitations of the methods are pointed out by focusing on the delicate transfer of bio-macromolecules, preservation of properties and on the prospect of combinatorial libraries' synthesis in a single-step process. The following section provides a brief description of fundamental processes involved in the molecular transfer of delicate materials by MAPLE. Then, the chapter focuses on the laser synthesis of two polysaccharide thin films, namely Dextran doped with iron oxide nanoparticles and Levan, followed by an overview on the MAPLE synthesis of other biopolymers. The chapter ends with summary and perspectives of this fast-expanding research field, and a rich bibliographic database.
