Popis: | A time-sparing method for the fabrication of structures organized on both the micro- and nanometer-scale typical of nature is demonstrated by using a laser. In the applied laser-liquid-solid-interaction method, a micrometer scale architecture with precisely controlled size and shape is created by laser irradiation of various surfaces, and nano-structured hydroxyapatite is subsequently grown. Since the latter is known as the major inorganic constituent of bones and teeth, the formation of such a material may have direct application in medicine, dentistry, and tissue engineering, particularly as the population ages. A schematic drawing of the laser-liquid-solid-interaction method. |
