Pulsed Laser Deposition of Bioceramic Hydroxyapatite Thin Films on Polymer Materials

Abstract: The ArF excimer laser deposition technique has been used to fabricate bioceramic hydroxyapatite (HAp) thin films on polymer materials such as polyimides (PI), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone rubber (SR), and polyethyleneterephthalate (PET). The crystallinity, structure, composition and surface morphology of HAp films are evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Crystallized HAp films are obtained on PI and PTFE, and mechanical pr… Show more

“…Thus, it is necessary to modify the surface of medical PI catheters with biomaterials to effectively improve their affinity with skin tissue. According to previous reports, it was investigated that PI surfaces were modified by hydroxyapatite, 5 ion beam irradiation, 6 poly-(dimethylsiloxane), 7 and hydrophilic diamine monomers. 8 These methods were effective in preventing percutaneous genital infections but are not sufficient for practical use.…”

“…Previous studies have successfully prepared a hydroxyapatite film on the material surface by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [ 27 ]. This technology may be used to prepare films with consistent chemical composition, high continuity, compact structure, and high bonding strength between the film and matrix.…”

“…We have also evaluated the biocompatibility of each. [4][5][6] These apatite materials are highly biocompatible, and when cells are cultured on thin layers, proliferation and differentiation are 2 to 3 times faster than on titanium. These materials can thus be useful culture scaffolds.…”

“…These molecules, atoms and ions react with the atmosphere gas (O 2 þ H 2 O, partial pressure was approximately 0.8 mTorr) on the substrate. These conditions were investigated to obtain the best biocompatibility for the HAp films, [4][5][6] except for the substrate temperature during the deposition (room temperature). Here, thermal heating of the substrate is generally needed for the deposition of high quality HAp thin films.…”
