Pyrolytic Carbon Coating Enhances Teflon and Dacron Fabric Compatibility with Endothelial cell Growth

Abstract: Compatibility with endothelial cell attachment and growth appears to be an important requisite of vascular prosthetic materials, possibly influencing thrombosis, pseudointimal hyperplasia, and accelerated atherosclerosis at the site of blood-material interaction. Since deposition of pyrolytic carbon (PC) on prosthetic surfaces has been associated with enhanced hemocompatibility, in the present study we assessed whether a thin layer (0.5 microns) of PC deposited onto materials such as knitted Teflon and Dacron … Show more

“…1,2 A number of physical and chemical techniques can be used to improve the surface biocompatibility, [3][4][5][6][7][8] among them, plasma surface modification was proved to be a good method. 7,8 The plasma surface modification is one kind of economical and effective surface treatment technology to improve material's wettability, permeability, conductivity, adhesivity, biocompatibility, and so on.…”

“…Among other physical and chemical techniques to improve the surface biocompatibility [19][20][21][22], plasma surface modification is used to adapt the surface properties by functionalization of the material surface to control the biological response. Different functionalities have been investigated, such as carboxyl [23], hydroxyl [24] and primary amine [25] (see figure 2).…”
