Plasma polymers from oregano secondary metabolites: Antibacterial and biocompatible plant‐based polymers

Abstract Bacterial infection of chronic wounds is a major healthcare problem that affects the quality life millions patients worldwide and leads to substantial cost burden. This project focused on manufacture potential wound healing agent. Plasma polymers from oregano secondary metabolites (PP‐OSMs) were fabricated by radiofrequency plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF‐PECVD) in continuous pulse plasma modes at room temperature. The surface, biocompatibility, antibacterial properties PP‐OSMs investigated. Polymers RF‐PECVD retained functional groups OSMs, promoted human dermal fibroblast adhesion, inhibited Staphylococcus aureus attachment, eliminated Pseudomonas aeruginosa . PP‐OSM coatings are candidates for use medical applications where cell biocompatibility required.
