Effect of the type of plasma on the polydimethylsiloxane/collagen composites adhesive properties
Abstract(#br)Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films were treated with either oxygen (O 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ) or argon (Ar) plasma between 40\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003eW and 120\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003eW for 5–15\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003emin and their surface properties studied by contact angle measurements, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
