“…After oxygen plasma treatment, as shown in Figure 2 some kind of abrasion defects can be seen on the surface of the membranes, which does not appear for the membranes without plasma treatment. Surface abrasion that was already found in plasma treated PLLA by Wang et al [18] can allow HA particles to appear at the pores walls.…”

“…This method is based on phase separation, like liquid-liquid demixing, whereby the solvent and the polymer crystallises in the polymer-poor phase and the polymer-rich phase, respectively [17]; thus leaving a porous morphology when the crystallised solvent is removed with the aid of a good solvent. These membranes were then modified by plasma treatment in order to enhance their bioactivity [18]. As polymer containing carboxylic acids show high plasma susceptibility, the plasma treatment was applied as to help initiate the nucleation of a layer of HA.…”

“…In the last decade, diverse strategies in surface modification have been applied on implantable biomaterials such as hydroxyapatite (HA) [1], low-density polyethylene (LDPE) [2] and poly(L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) [3] to improve their intended functions in the body. One of the main purposes for surface modification is to enhance or inhibit protein adsorption on the surface of biomaterials.…”

“…This may be explained by the differences in bone-like apatite used in various studies, as different preparation methods could cause variations in the physical properties of apatite, such as crystallinity, crystal size, surface topography, elemental composition/ratio and the dissolution rate of apatite. Each of these properties could substantially influence the attachment, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro [12]. Kim et al [13] also reported that the ALP activity of osteoblast-like cells on the hydroxyapatite coating of zirconia porous scaffolds was increased in comparison with those on pure β-TCP, with higher dissolution rates.…”
