Orthopedic implants are increasing in global prevalence, with hundreds of thousands of
operations performed annually. However, a significant proportion of these operations …

Plasma polymer films (PPFs) are well-known for their enhanced stability compared to
conventional polymer coatings. However, PPFs tend to undergo aging in air or in aqueous …

Biodegradable composite nanofibers were electrospun from poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL) and
poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) mixtures dissolved in acetic and formic acids. The variation of …

The plasma modification of biodegradable nanofibers is of great interest for improvement of
their biocompatibility. However, there are no systematic studies regarding the influence of …

Our previously-obtained impressive results of highly increased C2C12 mouse myoblast
adhesion to amine plasma polymers (PPs) motivated current detailed studies of cell …

In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous mats (Ø: 144.2±3.4 nm) were fabricated by
electrospinning and subsequently exposed to a low-pressure plasma polymerization …

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised the problem of efficient, low-cost materials enabling the
effective protection of people from viruses transmitted through the air or via surfaces …

Three-dimensional (3D) spheroids composed of brain cells have shown great potential to
mimic the pathophysiology of the brain. However, a 3D spheroidal brain-disease model for …

The scaffolds made of polycaprolactone (PCL) are actively employed in different areas of
biology and medicine, especially in tissue engineering. However, the usage of unmodified …

We report on the first successful application of nitrogen-containing functional surfaces
prepared by plasma polymerization in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensing …
