Interaction of CO2 laser-modified nylon with osteoblast cells in relation to wettability [PDF]
, 2009 It has been amply demonstrated previously that CO2 lasers hold the ability to surface modify various polymers. In addition, it has been observed that these surface enhancements can augment the biomimetic nature of the laser irradiated materials.

Multiscale Structuring of Hydroxyapatite via Two‐Photon Lithography of Nanocomposites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Hydroxyapatite scaffolds are of great interest in bone tissue engineering applications, ranging from 3D cell culture to regenerative medicine. Using two‐photon lithography of a transparent nanocomposite, hydroxyapatite microstructures with features ranging from submicron to centimeter‐scale are fabricated. This allows to mimic the natural bone geometry,
