Abstract
Initiated (i)CVD, an all‐dry, one‐step surface polymerization technique, was used to synthesize thin film hydrogels of poly (2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies showed stoichiometric PHEMA films obtained by iCVD. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed a high glass transition temperature, indicative of high molecular mass polymer. In‐vitro cell studies using adult human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) demonstrated the nontoxic nature and good cell adhesion properties of iCVD PHEMA films.
Full Paper: Initiated chemical vapor deposition, an all‐dry, one‐step surface polymerization technique was used to synthesize thin film hydrogels of poly (2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate). Chemical properties and in vitro biocompatibility of the films were tested. FTIR and NMR results evidenced excellent compositional stoichiometry, while cell adhesion and cytotoxicity tests showed good biocompatibility, thus suggesting strong potential for biological applications.
