Surface modification of polymers using a multi-step plasma treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a simple method for fabrication of one-dimensional, two-dimensional and nested hierarchical wrinkling patterns on polymeric surfaces using plasma treatment. The morphology of wrinkle patterns, specifically the wavelength and amplitude of each wrinkle generation, is controlled by the treatment time and stretching release after each treatment step. By systematically varying these two key experimental factors, wrinkle patterns with wavelength in the range of 50 nm to 10 lm and amplitude in the range of 20–400 nm were created. 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

Plasma can reduce Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation on medical polymers
Medical polymers, such as urinary catheters are widely used biomaterials. One of the main problem for using the urinary catheters is biofilm formation on their surface, when they are used in a long time in the body. Virulence and pathogenicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis is often enhanced when growing as a biofilm. Many techniques have been presented to reduce the biofilm formation by surface...
متن کاملSurface Modification of Silicone Rubber Membrane by Microwave Discharge to Improve Biocompatibility
Wetability of biocompatible polymers can be improved by plasma surface modification. The purpose of this study was to surface modify an experimental poly (dimethylsiloxane) rubber (PDMS) material in order to improve its wetability and biocompatibility. Surface properties of the PDMS were characterized using contact angles measurement for wetability analysis. Samples of experimental silico...
متن کاملMetalization of Polymers: Copper on Cyclotene
An analysis of the demands of ULSI and GSI technologies shows the necessity of multi-layer devices to reduction of signal transmission delay time. This reduction is realized by using a better conductor metal, such as Cu and a surrounding insulator with low capacity than actually used, such as Dow Cyclotene 3022. In this paper, the results of evaporated and sputtered Cu to Dow Cyclotene 3022 wer...
