Applications of Plasma-Textile Interactions
ADHESION PROMOTION
• Many polymers have a low to medium surface energy—examples include polypropylene, polyethylene and Teflon.
• Difficult to effectively apply adhesives or coatings.
• Oxygen plasma increase hydrophilicity => Improve adhesive bonding
– For example, plasma processing can increase the surface energy of polypropylene from 29 to 72 dynes/cm

Applications of Plasma-Polymer Interactions
HYDROPHILIC PROPERTIES
• A specially developed plasma activation process can be used to make a substrate surface hydrophilic. This permanently hydrophilic character can impart to woven or nonwoven textiles the capability to be used as blood filters or filtering membranes for various applications, including microfiltration components for dialysis filter systems.
![Page 27: Plasma Technology for Medical Textile Applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020712/5525192a4a7959ce488b49be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Stain repellent finishing
• Stain repellency is required for leisure suits, safety clothes and surgical gowns
• Technique used - Plasma grafting and plasma polymerisation
• Hydrocarbon and silicon based repellents repel only water
• Fluorocarbon based repellents repels both oil & water

Bio compatibility
• Ability of the material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application
• Interaction between Biomaterals and tissues& cells(cyto compatibility)
• With blood(haemo compatibility)
• Biological responses(inflammation ,thrombosis and healing)

Applications of Plasma-Polymer Interactions
BIOCOMPATIBILITY
• Plasma activation of surfaces to prepare them for cell growth or protein bonding is another important application.
• Examples of in vivo uses includes use of plasma to enhance the biocompatibility of implants by treating the surface of a device to increase the adherence of a hemocompatible coating. Among the applications in this domain are vascular grafts, lenses, and drug-delivery implants. When required, surfaces can also be modified to decrease the bonding of proteins.
