Low and atmospheric plasma polymerisation of nanocoatings for bio-applications

Abstract: International audienceThere exists an abundant literature on polymers used for biomedical applications. However, the research describedin this article deals with the plasma (co)polymerisation of different organic precursors for surface modifications ofa variety of substrates in order to tailor the physico-chemical properties of the substrates for tuneable biomolecule–surface interactions. The major part of the work presented focuses on the low-pressure inductively excited plasmaenhancedchemical vapour depositi… Show more

“…Of course, to further control release from the plasma coating -to get closer to the 2-3 month sustained release required for treatment of osteomyelitis -thicker layers need to be produced, as shown for coatings on polymer films by Arefi-Khonsari et al [36,37] or in our case in bioceramics from previous work [38]. In fact, a certain reduction in the release rate was recorded in the release of ampicillin from the coatings obtained at longer plasma treatment times (PP20-D, PP30-D and PP40-D) as had also been observed in a previous work of the group evaluating the same drug for coatings produced in similar conditions [20].…”

“…The deposition was performed with a DBD jet to overcome one of the main drawbacks of the most diffuse DBDs geometries (e.g., parallel plate or coaxial cylindrical geometries), which, due to the narrow gas gap, impose limitation in the size and shape of substrates that can be processed. 4,[80][81][82][83] However, it is worth mentioning that the optimization of deposition processes using plasma jets generally requires much effort, since many factors can affect the physical and chemical proprieties of the plasma plume. Moreover, in this specific case of study, to obtain water-stable coatings containing COOH groups using a DBD jet, we decided to act on the "input" chemistry of the deposition process (i.e., copolymerization of acrylic acid and ethylene), rather than on the electrical parameters of the discharge (e.g., increase of the input power to improve acrylic acid fragmentation and coating cross-linking).…”

“…Plasma polymerization is a dry and single-step method that is solvent free [16]. Plasma (co-)polymerization of different organic monomers for surface modification with a variety of substrates has been used for tunable biomolecule-surface interactions and controlled drug delivery applications [17,18]. However, the inconvenience of this method has been reported by free-radical-induced grafting [19].…”
