On the Applicability of Plasma Assisted Chemical Micropatterning to Different Polymeric Biomaterials
(2002)
A plasma process sequence has been developed to prepare chemical micropatterns on polymeric biomaterial surfaces. These patterns induce a guided localized cell layover at microscopic dimension. Two subsequent plasma steps are applied. In the first functionalization step a microwave ammonia plasma introduces amino groups to obtain areas for very good cell adhesion; the second passivation step combines pattern generation and creation of cell repelling areas. This downstream microwave hydrogen plasma process removes functional groups and changes the linkages of polymer chains at the outermost surfaces. Similar results have been obtained on different polymers including polystyrene (PS), polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (PHEMA), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN). Such a rather universal chemical structuring process could widen the availability of biomaterials with specific surface preparations.
Plasma functionalisation in gas phase like ammonia allows to equip polymer surfaces with amino functional groups. An important question of this functionalisation consists in the limited knowledge about heterogeneous interface reactions, especially radical formation and subsequent reaction processes. Useful analytical methods comparable to those avilable for gas phase reactions are scarce. Here we report on investigations on plasma generated C-radicals by NO-labelling, showing similatr effects for different plasmas.
Absolute number densities and the spatial distribution of atomic hydrogen in a large-scale microwave plasma reactor were measured by means of two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with laser radiation at 205 nm. The microwave discharge was operated at 2.45 GHz with a maximum power of 2 kW. Absolute number densities were obtained by calibrating the LIF detection system via NO2 titration in a flow tube reactor and in the range from 0.5×1015 to 2.5×1015 cm-3. Compared to small-scale reactors with a volume-to-surface ratio less than 3 cm, this reactor has a relatively homogeneous spatial distribution of atomic hydrogen. The mole fraction of atomic hydrogen in hydrogen plasmas ranges from 10% to 20%. The gas temperaturevolume effect plays an important role in the spatial distribution of atomic hydrogen in this reactor.
