A method for at least partially treating biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, the sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials having OH-groups and being at least partially amorphous, the treatment being performed with a localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy. A method for coating a device with biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials and a method for modifying the biological activity of biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials are also disclosed. Both methods include treatment with localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy. Also disclosed is the use of the method to fabricate different devices and to attach at least two devices.
Method for at least partially treating biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, said sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials comprising OH-groups, being at least partially amorphous and selected from the group consisting of silica, titania, calcium phosphates, zirconia based and mixtures thereof, the said treatment being performed with a localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy.
A method for coating a device with biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, characterised in that at least one layer of biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, selected from the group consisting of silica, titania, alumina, calcium phosphates, zirconia based and mixtures thereof, is deposited on the surface of the device and that each said layer is treated with a localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy prior to the eventual deposition of another layer of biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials.
A method for modifying the biological activity of biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, characterised in that at least portion of the surface of the biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, selected from the group consisting of silica, titania, alumina, calcium phosphates, zirconia based and mixtures thereof, is treated with a localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy.
