The mechanical properties of a surface-modified layer on polydimethylsiloxane [PDF]
Journal of Materials Research, 2008 Surface modification of the elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by exposure to oxygen plasma for four minutes creates a thin, stiff film. In this study, the thickness and mechanical properties of this surface-modified layer were determined. Using the phase image capabilities of a tapping-mode atomic force microscope (AFM), the surface-modified region

Evaluation of surface layer stability of surface-modified polyester biomaterials
Biointerphases, 2020 Surface modification of biomaterials is a strategy used to improve cellular and in vivo outcomes. However, most studies do not evaluate the lifetime of the introduced surface layer, which is an important aspect affecting how a biomaterial will interact with a cellular environment both in the short and in the long term.

Concentrator of laser energy for thin vapour cloud production near a surface [PDF]
, 1998 A novel scheme is presented for production of a thin ($100$ cm$^2$) by pulsed laser ablation of a solid surface. Instead of dispersing the laser energy uniformly over the surface, a modified Fabry-Perot interferometer is employed to concentrate the laser

Adhesion of endothelial cells and adsorption of serum proteins on gas plasma-treated polytetrafluoroethylene [PDF]
, 1991 From in vitro experiments it is known that human endothelial cells show poor adhesion to hydrophobic polymers. The hydrophobicity of vascular prostheses manufactured from Teflon® or Dacron® may be the reason why endothelialization of these grafts does ...
