Abstract
In this paper, processing of biomaterial thin films using a novel physical vapor deposition process known as matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) is reviewed. The matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation process provides excellent control over several film parameters, including thickness, roughness. homogeneity, and reliability. Deposition of dexamethasone thin films, poly (D, L) lactic acid/dexamethasone bilayer thin films, and chitosan thin films is reviewed. The results highlight the expanding role of matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation process in biomaterials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering
