| Abstract Scope |
Non-thermal plasma has emerged as a viable method for surface engineering soft materials and biomaterials' interfaces. We have successfully utilized low temperature plasma (LTP) for making cell and blood-friendly material’s surfaces. Plasma surface functionalization by plasma enhanced reduction (PER) as the working principle to reduce the precursors in the plasma-phase onto the surface of substrate, irrespective of its nature as metallic/nonmetallic for anti-microbial properties. The process described has advantages over existing methods, in that it is a single-step, greener, and more cost-effective process. In addition, the radiofrequency plasma reactor can be used to modify the surface of various biomedical 3D printed scaffolds for anti-bacterial surfaces (e.g. mask).The talk will present the detailed process, surface characterization and in vitro biological properties.
