“…There are various deposition methods which can be used for coating a surface, from click chemistry to physical simple methods, such as spin-coating, or more complex procedures, such as laser deposition [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. The main disadvantages for most of the techniques are the poor control over thickness and roughness, lack of possibility to include proteins or growth factors within a wide range of synthetic polymeric matrices, or the fact that the methods imply toxic precursors, causing the destruction of the bio-compounds.…”

The improvement in the research area of the implant by surface functionalization when correlated with the biological response is of major interest in the biomedical field. Based on the fact that the inflammatory response is directly involved in the ultimate response of the implant within the body, it is essential to study the macrophage-material interactions. Within this context, we have investigated the composite material-macrophage cell interactions and the inflammatory response to these composites with amorphous hydroxyapatite (HA), Lactoferrin (Lf), and polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) copolymer. All materials are obtained by Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique and characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Macrophage-differentiated THP-1 cells proliferation and metabolic activity were assessed by qualitative and quantitative methods. The secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) cytokine, in the presence and absence of the inflammatory stimuli (bacterial endotoxin; lipopolysaccharide (LPS)), was measured using an ELISA assay. Our results revealed that the cellular response depended on the physical-chemical characteristics of the coatings. Copolymer-HA-Lf coatings led to low level of pro-inflammatory TNF-α, the increased level of anti-inflammatory IL-10, and the polarization of THP-1 cells towards an M2 pro-reparative phenotype in the presence of LPS. These findings could have important potential for the development of composite coatings in implant applications.

“…Other classes of heterocyclic compounds were reported to have nonlinear optical properties, and some of them are presented below. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-Octahydroacridine (OHA) 47 (see Figure 12) thin films grown by matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) showed the SHG (second harmonic generation) signal of the conformational asymmetry of OHA and therefore the nonlinear optical applications of it [114]. Matei et al studied the morphology and optical properties of ferrocene 48 thin films grown by MAPLE technique, films that were further used in two-photon absorption investigations, showing that the compound has SHG capabilities [115].…”

Organic semiconductors as active materials in thin-film electronic devices such as alkynes, heterocycles, dyes, ferrocenes, spiranes, or porphyrins, with special geometries and certain electronic molecular parameters, which possess nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and offer several major advantages over their inorganic counterparts, are presented in this chapter. There are a number of simple and versatile techniques that can be employed for the deposition of these important classes of materials. The matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique provides advantages with regard to making organic films of different morphologies on different types of substrates. New insights into the crystallization growth mechanisms in MAPLE-deposited conjugated polymer films, which realize the connection between the structure and the carrier transport properties, are discussed herein. Second harmonic generation (SHG) capabilities of the thin films were also investigated.

“…During the last decades, nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have played a significant role because of their various applications in medicine, molecular switches, luminescent materials, laser technology, spectroscopic and electrochemical sensors, data storage, microfabrication and imaging, modulation of optical signals, and telecommunication [1][2][3]. Organic materials are distinguished by the fact that they exhibit strong NLO properties [2][3][4]. Recent literature highlights the increased interest in organic materials in recent decades, as an alternative to their inorganic counterparts, and having several advantages, such as their low cost, low toxicity, ease of solution processability, flexibility for device fabrications [5], and modulation of their optical, electronic, and chemical properties by adapting their molecular structure.…”
