| Description | In this contribution, a new way to produce plasma polymerized oxazoline-based films with antibiofouling properties and good biocompatibility is presented. The films were created via the plasma deposition from 2-methyl-2-oxazoline vapours in nitrogen atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge. Diverse film properties were achieved by increasing the substrate temperature at the deposition. The physical, chemical and biological properties of plasma polymerized polyoxazoline films were studied by SEM, EDX, FTIR, antibacterial and cytocompatibility tests. After tuning of the deposition parameters, films having the capacity to resist bacterial biofilm formation were achieved. Deposited films also promote cell viability. |
