TI  - Vacuum ultraviolet treatment of polyethylene to change surface properties and 
      characteristics of protein adsorption.
PG  - 428-35
AB  - The effects of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) treatment on surface chemical composition 
      morphology and albumin adsorption for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated. The attenuated total 
      reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra and contact angle 
      measurements indicated the formation of oxygen-containing polar groups and double 
      bonds under VUV photooxidation in the presence of air or under VUV irradiation in 
      vacuum. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the development of regular 
      structure with the period about 1 microm on the surface of LDPE and HDPE during 
      VUV photooxidation. The correlation between amount of tightly adsorbed albumin 
      and surface concentration of carboxyl groups generated by VUV irradiation was 
      found. The aging effect for protein adsorption during long storage of VUV 
      irradiated samples in air or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was studied. The 
      obtained results prove the VUV irradiation provides a high potential to regulate 
      protein adsorption on polymers for biomedical applications.
