Abstract
The effect of XeCl laser irradiation on biocompatibility of polyethersulfone (PES) film surface was investigated. For this purpose, the surface of PES film was irradiated with different number of pulses at different fluences. The treated surfaces were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. The platelet adhesion and cell culture measurements were done on the treated surface for investigation of the biocompatibility. It was shown that, irradiation of surface with 500 pulses at a fluence of 25 mJ/cm2 is the most optimal condition for improving the platelet adhesion on the PES surface with a XeCl laser.
