Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterial manufacturing and the exploration of their application performances have become the top priority in the field of nanotechnology. The manufacturing methods of nanomaterials include hydrothermal, solvothermal, electrochemical, and halogen light thermochemical synthesis, microwave-assisted chemical reduction, laser manufacturing, etc. Among them, the latter has the advantages of providing green, pollution-free, and simple non-contact operation, high flexibility and controllability, and positioning processing, among others, allowing for the physical/chemical manufacturing of solid/liquid-phase materials. Therefore, laser manufacturing technologies have unique application potential in the green, controllable manufacturing of nanomaterials, making its application and research crucial.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present current state-of-the-art applications and research on nanomaterial laser manufacturing technology, an area where nanomaterial technologies and cutting-edge manufacturing combine and promote each other's development. The green, controllable manufacturing of nanomaterials is the basis of its application, with laser manufacturing technology as its frontier method. In the present Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in the field with the aim of providing a balanced view of the current state of the art in this discipline.

Functional and safety requirements for medical devices are increasing with the continuous advancement of medical technology. To improve the therapeutic effect and safety of medical devices and patients, researchers are constantly exploring new materials and processes. Among them, the preparation of functional surfaces has become an important means to improve the performance of medical devices. This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of recent advancements in laser processing technologies for the fabrication of functional surfaces in medical devices. Leveraging the unique capabilities of laser-based techniques to precisely tailor micro- and nanoscale surface structures, these methods have demonstrated remarkable potential in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy, biocompatibility, and overall safety of medical implants and surgical instruments. Such innovations are paving the way for the development of next-generation medical devices with multifunctional surface properties, meeting the increasing demands of modern clinical applications. The review focuses on the key applications, including cell function regulation, antibacterial properties, corrosion resistance, friction characteristics, and anti-adhesion properties. It also explores the considerable potential of laser processing technology, while addressing the challenges associated with multifunctional surface design and material selection. Looking ahead, the paper discusses future directions for the application of laser processing in novel materials and complex biomimetic structures. Full article
