Abstract

The modification of silk fiborin/hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose (SF/HPMC) blending films for improved blood compatibility was analyzed using CO 2 plasma. The clot time was used to characterize the blood compatibility of the films. The ATR-FTIR spectra of the blending films indicated that after CO2 plasma treatment, both samples exhibited vibration peaks of hydroxy and/or epoxide groups. The X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that after treatment, the surface composition changed. The results show that the clot time could be increased at same time by a suitable condition of CO2 plasma treatment, which may be helpful to explain antithrombin mechanisms.
