Radiofrequency plasma deposition of oxygen‐containing films on polystyrene and poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates improves endothelial cell growth
Abstract
Polystyrene and poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates were modified by radiofrequency plasma deposition with organic vapors comprised of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (acetone, methanol, glutaraldehyde, formic acid, allyl alcohol, and ethylene oxide). The treatments resulted in the deposition of a film at least 100 Å thick containing up to 26% atomic oxygen at the surface. A high oxygen incorporation was observed for vapors with a large oxygen‐to‐carbon ratio. Bovine aortic endothelial cell growth measured on acetone, methanol, and glutaraldehyde films was linearly correlated with the oxygen content of the treated surfaces. Nitrogen was incorporated in the surface by blending nitrogen gas into the organic vapors used for plasma deposition. The resulting nitrogen‐containing substrates exhibited a high affinity for serum fibronectin but a moderate cell growth.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
