摘要 聚苯乙烯(PS)為熱塑性塑膠,目前廣泛應用於食品包裝及資訊家電,成本低,可作為培養細胞之材料;具有耐衝擊性,亦可作為身體植入材之優良選擇。由於其本身屬疏水性及化學安定性,較不利於細胞之貼附,所以必須進行適當的表面機能化改質,且不會對材料內部的結構造成破壞,以達到以下幾項基本要求: (1) 親水性-增進細胞親合性。 (2) 高含氧量-促進細胞之貼附及增生。 (3) 生物降解性-順利誘導細胞增生。因此,本研究以聚苯乙烯及矽晶片為基材,利用表面高能氬氣電漿前處理,以清潔材料表面,接著施以異丙醇(Isopropyl alcohol)電漿處理,製備均勻細緻的薄膜,增進材料表面之親水性及含氧量,促進細胞之貼附及增生。本研究探討所聚合超薄膜受電漿條件的影響,如沉積速率受單體承受能量W/P的增加影響,隨W/P增加至0.8 (40W 50mtorr)而達最大值,然後小;其親水性亦有相同之趨勢。由掃描式電子顯微鏡觀察,經異丙醇電漿處理後之聚苯乙烯及矽晶片, 表面披覆一層相當均勻細緻的沉積膜,在W/P=0.8時,細緻的薄膜上有分佈似雪花的島狀物產生。異丙醇電漿聚合薄膜含有-C=O,-OH及-COOH等結構;故從水接觸角測試可知聚苯乙烯(PS)從70°降至51°改善親水性。薄膜在PBS溶液中有衰退現象,二十天後剩下約45%wt,而在40W 4.85Pa 15min條件下沉積的薄膜,保存在空氣中15天後,其水接觸角回復至約53°。腸道細胞(Caco2)培養, 結果發現PS經過電漿處理後,細胞貼附率可達九成,細胞增生性大幅改善,甚至比市售的細胞培養皿(NUNC:159910, 70NT/per)有更好的貼附性及增生性,而異丙醇電漿處理便宜且低汙染,故作為生醫材料之表面改質實為優良之選擇。
ABSTRACT The biocompatibility of a material is largely governed by its surface chemistry, topography and elastic properties. Surface modification by plasma polymerization is well-know as an effective method to improve the blood compatibility of substrates such as PP and Si-wafer. The plasma film is smooth, uniform and pinhole-free, also any specified geometry. A number of studies have shown plasma deposited films can lead to enhanced levels of cell attachment which has been attributed to the presence of various functional groups including: hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino. These groups were formed by the reaction of the residual free radical with oxygen or water in atmosphere. The chemical component of plasma film was influenced by the operation parameters W/P of a given experiment. However, plasma polymerization invariably produces films containing a variety of functional groups which can make the study of cell attachment to these surfaces complex as it is often not clear whether it is total oxygen concentration, the concentration of a particular functional group or rather their relative concentration which leads to enhanced cell attachment and proliferation. Some recent studies have shown that chemically complex surfaces are more attractive for the attachment of bovine aortic endothelial cells than those containing individual chemical groups. Films containing minimal carboxylic acid content can be prepared by the plasma polymerization of isopropyl alcohol . A related aspect is the production of chemically patterned surfaces as this enables the study of cell attachment and spreading on substrates with areas of differing surface chemistry under otherwise identical culture conditions. Plasma polymerization lends itself well to the production of chemically patterned surfaces as has been demonstrated in a number of recent studies. This study involves the investigation of two aspects of plasma polymerization for the production of biocompatible surfaces. The first is to study the deposition of thin films from isopropyl alcohol plasma. These films will allow the study of the attachment and proliferation of Caco-2 cells in the absence of any carboxylic acid groups. The second part of this paper investigates the growth of cells on chemically patterned substrates. The attachment behavior on chemically patterned surfaces will be studied up to 120 h to investigate whether the absence of carboxylic acid affects the long term growth of cells on these surfaces.
