RF-Plasma Treatment on the Inside of Small Functional Devices for Biomedical Application

摘要

For biomedical application, an increasing amount of polymers is used. Therefore, the polymeric surface properties have to be controlled to give the appropriate answer in contact with the biological medium. Whilst the surface properties of flat objects are often described to be successfully modified by plasma techniques, the three-dimensionality of some devices is an outstanding challenge. This contribution demonstrates the potential of plasma treatment in pores and other cavities of devices for biomedical use.
