Biomedical Applications of Laser-Processed Coatings

Laser-processed coatings transform modern healthcare technology, offering control over surface properties to enhance the performance and longevity of medical devices. Using laser-based techniques can improve surface characteristics like roughness, chemistry, and microstructure without damaging the underlying material. This level of customization is valuable in applications like medical implants, surgical tools, and antimicrobial surfaces, where biocompatibility, wear resistance, and infection control are critical. As advancements in laser processing continue, these coatings improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and enable the next generation of biomedical devices. Biomedical Applications of Laser-Processed Coatings explores laser-processed coatings and their emerging role in biomedical applications. It examines how laser-based techniques, such as laser cladding, laser surface texturing, laser-assisted deposition, and femtosecond laser processing, revolutionize the development of functional coatings on medical implants, prosthetics, biosensors, and drug delivery devices. This book covers topics such as nanoparticles, bioactivity, and medical technologies, and is a useful resource for biologists, medical and healthcare professionals, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
