PTFE samples were treated by low-pressure, O RF plasmas. The adsorption of BSA was used as a probe for the protein resistant properties. The exposure of PTFE to an O plasma leads to an increase in the chamber pressure. OES reveals the presence of CO, CO and F in the gas phase, indicating a strong etching of the PTFE surface by the O plasma. Furthermore, the high resolution C1s spectrum shows the appearance of CF, CF and C-CF components in addition to the CF component, which is consistent with etching of the PTFE surface. WCA as high as 160° were observed, indicating a superhydrophobic behaviour. AFM Images of surfaces treated at high plasma power showed a increase in roughness. Lower amounts of BSA adsorption were detected on high power, O plasma-modified PTFE samples compared to low power, oxygen plasma-modified ones.
聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)样品采用低压氧射频等离子体进行处理。牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的吸附用作抗蛋白质性能的探针。PTFE暴露于氧等离子体导致腔室压力升高。发射光谱(OES)显示气相中存在CO、CO和F,表明氧等离子体对PTFE表面有强烈蚀刻作用。此外,高分辨率C1s光谱显示除了CF成分外,还出现了CF、CF和C-CF成分,这与PTFE表面的蚀刻情况一致。观察到接触角(WCA)高达160°,表明具有超疏水行为。在高等离子体功率下处理的表面的原子力显微镜(AFM)图像显示粗糙度增加。与低功率氧等离子体改性的聚四氟乙烯样品相比,在高功率氧等离子体改性的聚四氟乙烯样品上检测到的BSA吸附量更低。
