Surface modification for enhancing behaviors of vascular endothelial cells onto polyurethane films by microwave-induced argon plasma

Polyurethanes (PUs) are widely used in cardiovascular and other biomedical applications due to their good biocompatibility as well as mechanical properties. However, PUs are poor substrates in supporting the adhesion and growth of vascular endothelial cells. In this study, the surface of PU films was modified by microwave-induced argon pl...More
