Abstract EN
This paper is focused on the surface characterization of plasma and consequently thermally treated biocompatible polymers.
PLLA (poly(L-lactide acid) and PMP (poly-4-methyl-1-pentene) are studied.
The influence of Ar plasma treatment on the surface polarity of substrate measured immediately after treatment and during the polymer surface aging is studied.
Surface roughness, morphology, wettability, and surface chemistry were determined.
Plasma treatment leads to significant changes in PLLA surface morphology and chemistry, with the PMP being slightly affected.
The higher resistance to plasma fluence results in smaller ablation of PMP than that of PLLA.
The plasma treatment improves cell adhesion and proliferation on the PMP.
Plasma treatment of PLLA influences mostly the homogeneity of adhered and proliferated VSMC.
