Characterization of Surface-Modified Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) Scaffolds from Hydrophilic Monomers using Plasma-Enhanced CVD
E-mail:
Inductively coupled plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) at room temperature was used to graft acrylic acid (AAc) and acrylamide (AAm) to a poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold surface. The surface of the grafted PLGA scaffolds was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and a contact angle meter. The FTIR-ATR spectra of the surface-modified scaffolds showed the characteristic band of PAAc at 1640 cm-1 as well as those of PAAm at 1615 and 1660 cm-1, confirming that the AAc and AAm units were grafted successfully onto the surface of the PLGA scaffolds. The ESCA survey scan, as well as C1s, O1s, and N1s core spectra of the modified surface, also showed that changes in the chemical composition occurred to the surfaces of the grafts. Surface tension of the scaffolds increased to 66.1 dyn/cm as a result of the grafting of the hydrophilic monomers.
