Abstract

The enhancement of cell adhesion on non-woven fabric (NWF) surface by pulse plasma surface modification and acrylic acid (AAc) grafting was studied. Oxidative pulsed plasma treated NWF was immersed in an aqueous solution of AAc for UV-induced graft copolymerization. Contact angle and water content measurements, and micro IR analysis were performed for surface characterization. It was observed that, with increasing plasma treatment time (PTT), the contact angle and water content of the NWF decreased. The concentrations of surface grafted carboxyl groups were found to increase both with AAc monomer concentration and PTT.
