“…To the end of the 1980s, scientists attempted to study organic thin films prepared by PLD technology [15] . Because of the decomposition of the organic material caused by the high power and high energy density of pulsed laser [16][17][18] , the application of PLD in organic material science has been seriously hindered. Until recent years, a new method, known as matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE), has been developed [19][20][21][22] .…”

“…Until recent years, a new method, known as matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE), has been developed [19][20][21][22] . It can protect organic materials from decomposition [16][17][18]21,23,24] . We built a set of MAPLE equipment for the deposition of organic and polymer thin films at National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).…”

Compared with the traditional thin film techniques, the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique has many advantages in the deposition of polymer and organic thin films. It has a wide range of applications in many fields, such as non-linear optics, luminescent devices, electronics, various sensors. We have successfully deposited polyimide thin films by using the MAPLE technique. These films were characterized with XPS. The XPS spectra showed that the single-photon effect is obvious at low laser fluence and the chemical bonds will be broken, resulting in decomposition of the films. Contrarily, the single-photon effect will decrease and the multi-photon effect and the photothermal effect will increase at high laser fluence, resulting in the protection of the structure of the polyimide thin films and the obvious decrease in decomposition. High laser fluence is more suitable for the deposition of polymer and organic thin films than low laser fluence.MAPLE, polyimide, thin films, XPS, single-photon effect, multi-photon effect

“…Consequently, the deposition of polymeric (e.g. PMMA) or organic materials requires a special protection, which is conferred by another laser method called the matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) [33][34][35][36]. MAPLE basically differs from PLD by target preparation and laser target interaction.…”

“…Laser modification of surfaces for the prevention of bacterial attachment could provide a high value technique for producing nanostructured surfaces with superhydrophobicity which could prevent or control the attachment of bacteria to polymeric biomaterials and other important surfaces. For the production of thin film materials, pulsed laser deposition has been widely implemented [71][72][73] with excimer lasers been somewhat the most common laser to conduct pulsed laser deposition [73]. Excimer lasers have been more commonly implemented for this technique as the absorption coefficient of materials increases at shorter laser wavelengths and is a major benefit as it allows greater control of the deposited layer thickness [73].…”

“…With specific regard to polymeric materials smooth thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) can be produced using relatively high energy densities [71] and by using these high energy densities, the chemical structure can be modulated [71,72]. The work of Cristescu et al [72] compared pulsed laser deposition with matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE), and concluded that pulsed laser deposition of pullulan (a polymeric biomaterial) could not be used with this technique as resulting thin films had a different composition. Furthermore, they also concluded that the MAPLE technique was more viable for this specific polymeric biomaterial.…”

On account of the recent increase in importance of biological and microbiological adhesion in industries such as healthcare and food manufacturing many researchers are now turning to the study of materials, wettability and adhesion to develop the technology within these industries further. This is highly significant as the stem cell industry alone, for example, is currently worth £3.5 million in the United Kingdom (UK) alone. This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art techniques used for surface treatment with regards to modulating biological adhesion including laser surface treatment, plasma treatment, micro/nano printing and lithography, specifically highlighting areas of interest for further consideration by the scientific community. What is more, this review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the current techniques enabling the assessment of the most attractive means for modulating biological adhesion, taking in to account cost effectiveness, complexity of equipment and capabilities for processing and analysis.
