Abstract:
We deposited thin films from bioglass/antibiotic by the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique onto metallic substrates which mimic the surfaces of medical implants. The deposition was made in a two-step procedure: i) a thin layer of the polymeric material was deposited by MAPLE onto Ti substrates, ii) a second layer consisting of bioglass+antibiotic was applied by MAPLE onto the prior deposited polymeric film.
