In this paper, we describe the deposition of PEO-like coatings using dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) fed with aerosols of the TEGDME organic precursor in helium. By properly tuning plasma parameters such as aerosol/carrier flow ratio, frequency of the electric field applied and input power, the deposition process could be modulated to obtain coatings with variable PEO character, from 50% (cell adhesive) to 70% (nonfouling), which are interesting for surface modification of biomaterials and biomedical devices.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the deposition of PEO-like coatings using dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) fed with aerosols of the TEGDME organic precursor in helium. By properly tuning plasma parameters such as aerosol/carrier flow ratio, frequency of the electric field applied and input power, the deposition process could be modulated to obtain coatings with variable PEO character, from 50% (cell adhesive) to 70% (nonfouling), which are interesting for surface modification of biomaterials and biomedical devices.File in questo prodotto:
