We report thin film deposition of polyvinyl alcohol functionalized with carboxylic groups bound to aromatic nucleus (PVACOOH) by matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE). We used a KrF* excimer laser source (l = 248 nm, t = 25 ns, n ¼ 5 Hz). The obtained thin films have been investigated by FTIR, AFM, and in vitro tests. We identified the best compromise between the parameters of laser processing and characteristics of nanostructured thin

We report on the synthesis by pulsed laser deposition with a KrF* excimer laser source (l = 248 nm, t = 25 ns) of bioglass thin films of 6P57 and 6P61 types. Physiology, viability, and proliferation of human osteoblast cells were determined by quantitative in vitro tests performed by flow cytometry on primary osteoblasts cultured on pulsed laser deposited bioglasses. Both types of glass films proved to be appropriate mediums for cell survival and
