Area of Science:

  • Polymer Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films are widely used but can suffer from poor biocompatibility and protein fouling.
  • Surface modification is crucial for enhancing the performance of PVDF in biomedical applications.
  • Amylose derivatives offer potential for creating functionalized surfaces with tailored properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prepare aminopropyl amylose with varying degrees of substitution (DS).
  • To investigate the surface modification of plasma-activated PVDF films using these amylose derivatives.
  • To evaluate the impact of the modification on surface properties, including hydrophilicity and protein adsorption.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of aminopropyl amylose with controlled DS.
