Abstract excerpt
Pulsed laser ablation is a new method for deposition of thin layers of hydroxyapatite (HA) on to biomaterial surfaces. In this paper, we report activity and morphology of osteoblasts grown on HA surfaces fabricated using different laser conditions. Two sets of films were deposited from dense HA targets, at three different laser fluences: 3, 6 and 9 Jcm(-2). One set of the surfaces was annealed at 575 degrees C to...
