In this paper we present surface modification of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer, which is commonly used as synthetic vascular graft. Surface modification was made by oxygen and nitrogen plasma at different treatment times. Plasma was created by means of an RF generator at a discharge power of 200 W and gas pressure fixed at 75 Pa. The surface of PET polymer was modified in order to achieve improved attachment of fucoidan, which is a bioactive coating with antithrombogenic properties. In our study we analysed chemical modification of plasma treated surfaces by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), while the changes in morphology and surface roughness were observed with atomic force microscopy (AFM). Our results indicate that attachment of fucoidan is improved by oxygen plasma treatment, especially due to surface roughening. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
