The control of cell adhesion to synthetic polymers is a key factor in tissue engineering, resting on the ability to direct specific cell types to adhere and proliferate in order to stimulate tissue reconstruction. But often the surface properties are compromised for the sake of …

In the present research, a novel method, namely sol-gel/laser-induced technique (SGLIT), has been developed to generate nano-structured TiO2-based films. The TiO2 films based on unloaded (pure) TiO2, Ce-TiO2, W-TiO2 and Ag-TiO2, have been investigated in attempt to stabilise the…
