| Abstract Scope |
Recent advances in 2D antimicrobial materials have utilized plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation to respond to challenges in biomedical device coatings. For example, oxygen plasma–treated silicon-incorporated diamond-like carbon thin films, which were deposited using chemical vapor deposition and subsequently functionalized with oxygen, were shown to exhibit hydrophilic properties and antifungal activity against Candida albicans (DOI: 10.1116/6.0000356). In another example, the antifungal agent amphotericin B was deposited on the surfaces of solid biodegradable polyglycolic acid microneedles using matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (DOI: 10.18063/IJB.2017.02.004). The modified agar disk diffusion assay indicated that the amphotericin B-loaded microneedles had concentration-dependent activity against Candida albicans (unlike the unmodified microneedles). Additional examples involving the biological applications of pulsed laser deposition- and atomic layer deposition-grown coatings, including the results from in vitro testing, will also be considered. |
