Polystyrene surface modification using excimer laser and radio-frequency plasma: blood compatibility evaluations
Biomaterial surface modification is an efficient method to improve and control blood component-material interactions. In the present study, two different methods (ArF excimer laser irradiation and radio-frequency (RF) plasma treatment) were applied in separate procedures to create a vast range of physicochemical characteristics on the surface of polystyrene (PS) and investigate their effects on...
متن کاملMeasurement of polystyrene nanospheres using excimer laser fragmentation fluorescence spectroscopy.
Monodisperse polystyrene nanospheres with a mean diameter of 102 nm are photofragmented with 193 nm light in N2 at laser fluences from 1 to 20 J/cm2. Carbon atom fluorescence at 248 nm from the disintegration of the particles is used as a signature of the polystyrene. The normalized fluorescence signals are self-similar with an exponential decay lifetime of approximately 10 ns. At fluences abov...
متن کاملSurface Modification of TIMETAL 834 by Excimer Pulse Laser
Ti alloys become very popular in various engineering fields due to its light weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance properties. Nevertheless, its application is limited in many areas like: tribology, high temperature oxidation and aggressive corrosion fields due to its poor surface properties. Therefore, the proper surface treatment is required to increase the usageof Ti alloys in ...
متن کاملNitrogen plasma surface modification enhances cellular compatibility of aluminosilicate glass
The effect of Active Screen Plasma Nitriding (ASPN) treatment on the surface-cellular compatibility of an inert aluminosilicate glass surface has been investigated. ASPN is a novel surface engineering technique, the main advantage of which is the capacity to treat homogeneously all kind of materials surfaces of any shape. A conventional direct current nitriding unit has been used together with ...
متن کاملSurface Modification of Biomaterials: A Quest for Blood Compatibility
Cardiovascular implants must resist thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia to maintain patency. These implants when in contact with blood face a challenge to oppose the natural coagulation process that becomes activated. Surface protein adsorption and their relevant 3D confirmation greatly determine the degree of blood compatibility. A great deal of research efforts are attributed towards realising...
