Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Modification of Biomaterials in Air and NH3/N2 gas mixtures

Abstract The use of surface modification techniques to enhance the biological response of biomaterials is well established. The work reported in this thesis focuses on the use of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor operating at atmospheric pressure to enhance the surface properties o...
