Surface modification of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fiber by plasma grafting polymerization with acrylamide (AAm) was studied to improve the compatibility between polyacetal (POM) and PTFE. The best modified PTFE manufactured by self-designed plasma polymerization was investigated and denoted as AAm (20wt%)-g (plasma 30min)-PTFE. The grafting polymerization is successful and shown by ESCA spectra of modified PTFE fibers. It is also proved by SEM photographs and the improvement of properties of the POM/PTFE composites. As a result, the friction coefficients, Taber wear factors, and impact strengths of composites with 85wt% of POM and 15wt% of a variety of PTFEs were investigated. The frictional coefficient of POM/ AAm (20wt%)-g (plasma 30min)-PTFE deceased to 0.162; while that of POM/PTFE was 0.174. Taber wear factor of the composite significantly decreased from 5.2 to 1.5 when the PTFE was replaced by AAm-g (plasma)-PTFE. Meanwhile, the impact strength increased from 6.1 kg-cm/cm (POM/PTFE) to 9.3kg-cm/cm (POM/ AAm-g (plasma)-PTFE). Besides, the multi-yield behaviors were found in the Stress-Strain curves of composites with modified PTFE fibers.

This paper presents recent activities on the surface modification of blood contacting biomaterials and devices in the author’s laboratory. Surface coating of inorganic films on materials for artificial heart valves, ventricular pumps and coronary stents, such as titanium, stainless steel and low temperature isotropic pryolitc carbon, etc, shows a significant improvement in the anticoagulation behavior. Further, the formation of functional groups such as hydroxyl or amino groups and the binding of biomolecules as well as seeding of endothelial cell shows the promise of biomimetic surface formation. Plasma grafting on materials for artificial heart valve sewing cuff, extracorporeal circulation tube, etc, such as PET, PU, PVC polymers, revealed a significant improvement of anti-platelet adhesion as well as anti-bacterial properties.

According to the low efficiency of cell attachment and proliferation on commercial polystyrene (PS) dish, scaffold with porous structure on the polystyrene dish is required to improve the cell attachment and proliferation efficiency on the dish. The scaffold with porous structure was fabricated from a solution of powdered silk fibroin by plasma grafting polymerization technique. Argon plasma was utilized by a 13.56 MHz capacitively coupled discharge (CCP) reactor at working pressure of 100 mTorr. Rf power, plasma treatment time, and the cycle of grafting on the dish were varied. The proper treatment time and rf power set to 10 minutes and 100 W, respectively. The experimental results showed the uniformly and highly distributed of porosity of fibroin scaffold on the PS dish surface. The Ar-treated dish had lower UV-Vis absorbance than the untreated dish indicating the efficiency of grafting between fibroin structure and treated PS surface is better than the untreated surface. The absorbance spectra of phanyalanine at 280 nm affirmed the success of the fibroin amino acid grafting to PS aromatic structure.

Surface modification of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films was carried out via a novel photografting polymerization technique with acrylamide (AAm) as the monomer. The photografting polymerization can be achieved via one-step method and two-step method. The photografting polymerization reactivity of AAm was examined with benzophenone (BP) as the photoinitiator and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film as the substrate with “sandwich” assembly. Moreover, the occurrence and evolution of grafting polymerization of AAm on the substrate was demonstrated XPS analysis and SEM pictures.

Surface modification of microporous polypropylene membrane was performed by grafting polymerization of acrylamide.The morphological and microstructure changes of the membrane surface were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The results indicate that the pore size of the grafted membrane was reduced.
