Modifikace a charakterizace povrchu polymerů po expozici v plazmatu

Abstrakt

This paper presents a brief insight into the nanostructure preparation and material modification performed mainly by plasma which is an inexpensive and effective method for the treatment of even highly resistant materials. Besides, this method is used to increase the cytocompatibility for tissue engineering applications. An integral part of the issue is the characterization of material changes caused by modification. Currently, many different characterization techniques are used. For detailed description we have chosen several basic methods including the measurement of contact angle and zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transformation (FTIR).
