- SS 316 LVM Stent.
The quality of the deposited films and the properties
of the new material have been examined accordingly.

New
application
Depositing thin and ultra thin films of polymer P-312
(our designation), from the family of phosphonats
on ceramic and metal substrates, besides known properties,
such as biocompatibility and biodegradability a strongly
manifested photoluminescence has been observed.
The polymer has mol.w. 12,500 Dalton.
These biodegradable polyphosphoesters are appealing
for biological and pharmaceutical applications because
of their biocompatibility and similarity to bio-macromolecules
such as nucleic acids.
Intensive research and development of P-312 potential
and properties is in progress.

MultiCoats
has started testing ultra thin PET polymeric films
on standard testing substrates, for heavy metal detection
sensor device.
The Polymer D 712 (our designation
name) and some of it's generations have shown
properties usable for highly sensitive sensor made
in form of Thin and Ultra Thin films..
Looking for cooperation and partnership within FP7
of EU.

|
MultiCoats
has
started depositions of biocompatible and biodegradable
nano coats, based on P-329 natural biopolymer Polyhydroxybutyrate
(PHB) and its co-polymers, on DLC coated cardiovascular
Stent, The polymer is to be charged by one or more
drugs as drug carrier or as drug's cover-up thin film
within drug(s) eluting matrix.
P-329 nano films might be coated (sandwich) by ultra
thin layer of biodegradable and biocompatible metal
alloy M-014 as mechanical protector.

performing controllable deposition of complex biopolymers
and organic materials. Deposition on PLGA rezomer
RG 503 H – synthetic biodegradable and biocompatible
biopolymer in nano coats. Material is applied in pharmaceutics
and DEStent manufacturing. Multi-layered films are
deposited without any risk of harming deposited material
properties onto any surface. Biopolymer bone structure
analysis of these films have been quantified using
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) for
comparisons to native materials.
