Reactive ion etching of vascular graft materials enhances endothelialization
Vascular Biology
(2017)
Abstract
- Modification of PVA biomaterials is required to support endothelialization of the surface.
- Reactive ion etching of PVA with O2 and N2 increased the Nitrogen content and hydrophilicity of the surface.
- Etching of PVA with O2 and N2 increased the available amines and supported endothelial cell attachment.
