Cardiac cell therapy holds a real promise for improving heart function and especially of the
chronically failing myocardium. Embedding cells into 3D biodegradable scaffolds may better …

Control of wetting properties at the extremes of wetting states (superhydrophilic and
superhydrophobic) is important for many applications, such as self-cleaning, anti-fogging …

We are presenting recent advances in surface functionalization of materials such as
functional polymers using gaseous plasma treatments. Functionalization is a result of …

In today's nanoworld, there is a strong need to manipulate and process materials on an atom-
by-atom scale with new tools such as reactive plasma, which in some states enables high …

Plasma nanotexturing, ie plasma etching with simultaneous roughening in the nano to
micron scale, is used to create roughness on PMMA plates or glass slides coated with …

The opportunity for the commercialization of microfluidic systems has surged over the recent
decade, primarily for medical and the life science applications. This positive development …

Poly (methyl methacrylate) surfaces have been micro-nanotextured in oxygen plasmas with
increasing ion energy, leading to micro-nanotopography characterized by increased root …

Plasma‐induced pattern formation is explored on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using an
oxygen plasma glow discharge. The nanostructures on PET are formed through preferential …

The effect of O2 and Ar plasma etching on poly (chloro‐p‐xylylene)(Parylene C) is
thoroughly studied by atomic force microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and static …

Nanostructured surfaces usually exhibit complicated morphologies that cannot be described
in terms of Euclidean geometry. Simultaneously, they do not constitute fully random noise …
