This review paper provides the detailed information on a new nano-manufacturing process for producing nanocomposites, i.e., the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE). Owing to its unique advantages in depositing polymers and biomaterials, MAPLE technique has been applied to fabricate coatings for medical implants, and electronic devices. In this paper, the current progress on the applications of MAPLE technique is reviewed and discussed. MAPLE techniques have demonstrated a precise control of the parameter such as film thickness and roughness, material structure after deposition. The potentials of MAPLE technique in nanobiotechnology are also discussed in this review paper.

“…One of MAPLE’s unique features is the ability to obtain coatings from a wide range of materials without a structural degradation, containing a one component or multi-component layer and exhibiting controlled features such as thickness and roughness, which are specific interface features [ 8 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

Designing and obtaining new synthetic smart biointerfaces with specific and controlled characteristics relevant for applications in biomedical and bioengineering domains represents one of the main challenges in these fields. In this work, Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) is used to obtain synthetic biointerfaces of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-butyl acrylate) p(NIPAM-BA) copolymer with different characteristics (i.e., roughness, porosity, wettability), and their effect on normal HEK 293 T and murine melanoma B16-F1 cells is studied. For this, the influence of various solvents (chloroform, dimethylsulfoxide, water) and fluence variation (250-450 mJ/cm2) on the morphological, roughness, wettability, and physico–chemical characteristics of the coatings are evaluated by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measurements, Fourier-transform-IR spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Coatings obtained by the spin coating method are used for reference. No significant alteration in the chemistry of the surfaces is observed for the coatings obtained by both methods. All p(NIPAM-BA) coatings show hydrophilic character, with the exception of those obtained with chloroform at 250 mJ/cm2. The surface morphology is shown to depend on both solvent type and laser fluence and it ranges from smooth surfaces to rough and porous ones. Physico–chemical and biological analysis reveal that the MAPLE deposition method with fluences of 350-450 mJ/cm2 when using DMSO solvent is more appropriate for bioengineering applications due to the surface characteristics (i.e., pore presence) and to the good compatibility with normal cells and cytotoxicity against melanoma cells.

“…Albeit the present work is focused on the applications of the hybrid composite layers in the PV area, it is worth mentioning that such layers obtained by spin-coating and MAPLE techniques are also applied in other fields. In the following are given some examples of layers deposited by spin-coating (i–v) or by MAPLE (vi–x): (i) Films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) and strontium bismuth tantalite (SBT) nanoparticles for ferroelectric devices [ 71 ]; (ii) films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) and Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles for magnetoelectric devices [ 72 ]; (iii) films based on poly(vinylidene difluoride) and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles for battery electrodes [ 73 ]; (iv) films based on poly(methyl methacrylate) and WS 2 nanosheets for nonlinear optic [ 74 ]; (v) films based on poly(ε-caprolactone) and various materials such as Al 2 O 3 , graphene, carbonated hydroxyapatite or TiO 2 for tissue engineering [ 75 ]; (vi) films based on poly(lactic acid), poly(vinyl alcohol), chitosan, eugenol, and Fe 3 O 4 nanospheres for antimicrobial coatings [ 76 ]; (vii) films based on cyclodextrin, cefepime and ZnO nanoparticles [ 77 ] for bioactive coatings; (viii) films based on poly(ethylene glycol) and ZnO nanoparticles for antimicrobial surfaces [ 78 ]; (ix) films based on lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (NaGdF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ ) with or without immunoglobulin G (IgG) for biological devices in tissue engineering and tissue regeneration [ 79 ]; and (x) films based on poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) methyl ether copolymer, lactoferrin and hydroxyapatite for bioactive surfaces for bone regeneration [ 80 ].…”

Continuing growth in global energy consumption and the growing concerns regarding climate change and environmental pollution are the strongest drivers of renewable energy deployment. Solar energy is the most abundant and cleanest renewable energy source available. Nowadays, photovoltaic technologies can be regarded as viable pathways to provide sustainable energy generation, the achievement attained in designing nanomaterials with tunable properties and the progress made in the production processes having a major impact in their development. Solar cells involving hybrid nanocomposite layers have, lately, received extensive research attention due to the possibility to combine the advantages derived from the properties of both components: flexibility and processability from the organic part and stability and optoelectronics features from the inorganic part. Thus, this review provides a synopsis on hybrid solar cells developed in the last decade which involve composite layers deposited by spin-coating, the most used deposition method, and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation, a relatively new deposition technique. The overview is focused on the hybrid nanocomposite films that can use conducting polymers and metal phthalocyanines as p-type materials, fullerene derivatives and non-fullerene compounds as n-type materials, and semiconductor nanostructures based on metal oxide, chalcogenides, and silicon. A survey regarding the influence of various factors on the hybrid solar cell efficiency is given in order to identify new strategies for enhancing the device performance in the upcoming years.
