Microwave plasma activation and acrylic acid grafting of polytetrafluoroethylene surfaces for biomedical applications

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has limited use in biomedical applications due to its poor wettability and adhesion properties leading to low biomolecular affinity. To take advantage of the properties of PTFE, interactions with biomolecules need to be improved. This can be achieved by enhancing surfa...
