Non-thermal plasma assisted lithography for biomedical applications: an overview

摘要

Plasma assisted surface patterning is becoming a well-established technique that introduces both alternating surface texture and chemistry on substrates for biomedical applications. This review consists of an overview on the developments in this field over the last 15 years. Special attention is given to the different kinds of chemistry that can be introduced and their effect on the surface-cell interaction, as well as their feasibility for possible applications in the field of regenerative medicine.
