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.
