Improving Blood and Tissue Compatibility of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) by Ion Beam Treatment

Abstract: Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has desirable qualities for medical application but it is a nonpolar material (γ p s = 0.6 dyn/cm) which results in its high interfacial tension with blood plasma ( γ SL = 50 dyn/cm). Modifications of the surface free energy components of PET by ion-beam treatments were investigated. Also the surface morphology of the treated PET by scanning electron microscopy was revealed. The influence of such modifications on biocompatibility of these materials was investigate… Show more

“…Depending on the intended use (implant, patches, ocular lens), the interfacial tension of a biomaterial coming into contact with biological fluids will have different values [ 40 ]. For a biomaterial that is designed to be used as a tissue engineering scaffold, the interfacial tension must be in the range of 1–3 mN/m for biocompatibility to be achieved [ 45 , 46 ].…”

“…1. Basically, plasma is produced in an auxiliary plasma source (APS), which consists of a d.c. discharge with hot cathode arching in a stainless steel vessel with multipolar confinement system assured by permanent magnets mounted on the outside wall of the vessel [16]. The APS is mounted at one end of a cylindrical glass (Pyrex) tube with inner diameter of 44 mm and length of 420 mm in which the main d.c. discharge (MD) is produced between the APS and a cylindrical grounded anode placed at the other end of the tube.…”
