Low pressure plasma treatment of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate): Toward tailored polymer surfaces for tissue engineering scaffolds

Abstract: Thin films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) were modified by microwave ammonia plasma treatment. The results of the modification were studied by means of contact angle goniometry, ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. To prove the presence of amino groups on the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) surface, chemical labeling with 4-trifluoromethyl benzaldehyde was performed before X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.… Show more

“…It therefore does not usually affect the scaffold structure and mechanical properties significantly. Nitschke et al utilized low pressure ammonia plasma treatment for the modification of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) thin films [115]. The introduction of amine function was used for subsequent protein immobilization.…”

“…Diese Modelloberflächen wurden einer NH 3 -Plasmabehandlung unterzogen [4]. Weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten von resorbierbaren PatchImplantaten bestehen in der in vitro-Kopplung von Knochenzellen oder epithelialem Gewebe, zur Abdeckung von Wundflächen, ohne dass ein Dichtungseffekt erforderlich wäre.…”

“…Radio-frequency (RF) plasma is usually used to treat the surface of different polymers [14,15]. Reactive gases allowus to obtain the necessary functional groups on the P3HB surface and also impart other properties, such as bioactivity [16][17][18][19]. The data on the influence of the different working parameters of plasma, such as the type of gas, power, or pressure, on the changes in the properties of PHA, particularly hydrophilicity, is limited.…”
