Surface functionalization of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride treated with ammonia plasma

Key Points

• Enhanced biocompatibility observed after surface functionalization of polyvinyl chloride with ammonia plasma,
• Hydrophobicity decreased significantly, improving interaction with biological systems and potential applications.
• The process utilized ammonia plasma application for surface modifications, enabling assessment of functional properties.
• These findings suggest that ammonia plasma treatment could lead to safer medical applications, although further verification is needed.
