The book outlines a series of developments made in the manufacturing of bio-functional layers via Physical Vapour-Deposited (PVD) technologies for application in various areas of healthcare. The scrutinized PVD methods include Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering (RF-MS), Cathodic Arc Evaporation, Pulsed Electron Deposition and its variants, Pulsed Laser Deposition, and Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) due to their great promise, especially in dentistry and orthopaedics. These methods have yet to gain traction for industrialization and large-scale application in biomedicine. A new generation of implant coatings can be made available by the (1) incorporation of organic moieties (e.g., proteins, peptides, enzymes) into thin films using innovative methods such as combinatorial MAPLE, (2) direct coupling of therapeutic agents with bioactive glasses or ceramics within substituted or composite layers via RF-MS, or (3) innovation in high-energy deposition methods, such as arc evaporation or pulsed electron beam methods.

Technology: general issues --- pulsed electron deposition --- thin films --- orthopedic applications --- bioactivity --- ceramic coatings --- yttria-stabilized zirconia --- calcium phosphates --- hydroxyapatite --- biomimetic coatings --- antibacterial coatings --- thin film --- RF magnetron sputtering --- pulsed DC --- Silicon --- bio-coatings --- biomimetics --- laser deposition --- PLD --- MAPLE --- tissue engineering --- cancer --- titanium-based carbonitrides --- coating --- corrosion resistance --- X-ray diffraction --- nanoindentation --- cathodic arc deposition --- biological-derived hydroxyapatite coatings --- lithium doping --- food industrial by-products --- in vivo extraction force --- pulsed laser deposition --- 3D printing --- calcium phosphate --- PEEK --- surface modification --- sputtering --- ToFSIMS --- XPS --- implant coating --- bioactive glass --- copper doping --- gallium doping --- mechanical --- cytocompatibility --- antibacterial --- physical vapour deposition --- thin-films --- medical devices --- biomimicry
