“…2. The peak of trace a are very similar to that of trace b, they both exhibit the characteristic peaks at 1190 and 690 cm À1 which are ascribed to the characteristic absorbance of -CF 2 and -CHF-CF 3 , respectively [6,29]. Comparing trace a with trace b, unambiguous disappearance of the characteristic peak of C5 5C at 1642 cm À1 (trace a) and the appearance of the characteristic peak of C-Br at 523 cm À1 (trace b) were observed, this indicated the completion of the polymerization and the successful preparation of the macroinitiator PHFMA-Br.…”

“…Therefore, the (co)polymers derived from TFEMA can be utilized for the fabrication of many functional materials. For example, they can be used in coatings, resin modification, and adhesives because of their non-cohesiveness as well as water and oil repellency [33][34][35]. They are utilized in contact lenses because of enhanced oxygen permeability in a fluorinated matrix [36].…”

“…In order to decrease surface energy (tension) the rich polymer phase aggregates around these nuclei. Subsequently, polymer precipitation within the rich PS and PLLA phase, causes a continuous deposition of spheres on the surface which decreases the surface tension even more [34].…”

Wettability Influences Cell Behavior on Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Different Topographies

Surface wettability and topography are recognized as critical factors influencing cell behavior on biomaterials. So far only few works have reported cell responses on surfaces exhibiting extreme wettability in combination with surface topography. The goal of this work is to study whether cell behavior on superhydrophobic surfaces is influenced by surface topography and polymer type. Biomimetic superhydrophobic rough surfaces of polystyrene and poly(l-lactic acid) with different micro/nanotopographies were obtained from smooth surfaces using a simple phase-separation based method. Total protein was quantified and showed a less adsorption of bovine serum albumin onto rough surfaces as compared to smooth surfaces of the same material. The mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell line and primary bovine articular chondrocytes were used to study cell attachment and proliferation. Cells attached and proliferate better in the smooth surfaces. The superhydrophobic surfaces allowed cells to adhere but inhibited their proliferation. This study indicates that surface wettability, rather than polymer type or the topography of the superhydrophobic surfaces, is a critical factor in determining cell behavior.
