Abstract

Hydrophilic Low Density Polyethylene Films for Cell Adhesion and Proliferation

Author(s): Debbie Suzu

In the current examination the outer layer of Low Thickness Polyethylene (LTPE) films have been functionalized with acrylamide (AAm) utilizing arrangement uniting procedure. The surface science, design, unpleasantness and wettability of altered LTPE film have been concentrated on utilizing ATR-FTIR spectrophotometry, checking Electron Microscopy (SEM), nuclear power microscopy (AFM), contact point estimation, individually. Consequently, the films were screened on their fouling conduct by cell grip and expansion of HaCaT cells with various uniting times. The level of uniting of AAm was surveyed through carbonyl file (C) in the wave-number of 721 cm-1 in the FTIR spectra. The united film was viewed as hydrophilic in nature as seen from its water contact point.
