Plasma Surface Modification of Nanostructured Surfaces of Marine Based Scaffolds and Membranes for Enhanced Bioactivity

This three-year project involves preparation of nanostructured scaffolds, plasma treatment of the scaffolds, followed by in-vitro protein adsorption, cell attachment and proliferation with and without plasma treatment.

 Following the in-vitro studies, limited in-vivo studies are proposed to examine the role of plasma treatment on bone and skin tissue regeneration with the plasma treatment.
