In modern technology, there is a constant need to solve very complex problems and to fine-
tune existing solutions. This is definitely the case in modern medicine with emerging fields …

This review surveys methods for the fabrication, by plasma surface treatments or plasma
polymerization, of polymeric surfaces and thin plasma polymer coatings that contain reactive …

The response of host organism in macroscopic, cellular and protein levels to biomaterials is,
in most cases, closely associated with the materials' surface properties. In tissue …

Non-woven polyethylene terephthalate nanofiber mats (PET NFM) were prepared by
electrospinning technology and were surface modified to mimic the fibrous proteins in native …

We modified the surface of electrospun poly (caprolactone)(PCL) nanofibers to improve their
compatibility with endothelial cells (ECs) and to show the potential application of PCL …

A complete and permanent hydrophilic modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes
is achieved by argon plasma treatment followed by polyacrylic acid (PAA) grafting in vapor …

Graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto plasma treated poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET)
films was carried out to develop surfaces for protein immobilization and smooth muscle cell …

Polyamide thin film composite membranes have been conventionally used for reverse
osmosis (RO) and forward osmosis (FO) processes. Despite their high efficiency and …

Since a few decades, polymeric materials have played a central role in regenerative
medicine and tissue engineering as artificial tissue replacements and organ transplantation …

In tissue engineering, degradable or non-degradable polymer matrices can act as cell-
carrier-scaffolds. Cell adhesion and growth on these scaffolds can be promoted by …
