- Abstract
- Biocompatible BPA-PPD polyimide is widely used in the packaging of implantable devices. Plasma activation can improve its interaction with the surrounding tissue upon implantation. The influence of He, air, N2 and Ar plasma activation on polyimide's surface hydrophilicity, roughness, topography, composition and cell-surface interaction was evaluated, along with the influence of hydrophobic recovery on such properties. All plasma activations increased the surface hydrophilicity but neither the roughness nor topography changed. The increase was attributed to the incorporated O- and N-functionalities. 24 h after the activations the surface hydrophilicity decreased while maintaining the functionalities, due to the functionalities’ reorientation/migration towards the bulk of polyimide. Air and N2 activations improved the cell-surface interactions with fibroblasts. These were equally influenced by the surface hydrophilicity and the surface functionalities availability. The hydrophobic recovery lowered the initial cell adhesion but not the cell proliferation, as the hydrophobic recovery was progressively reversed in the culture media.
