초록보기

 좁은 관경을 갖는 상대 유전율 3 이하인 PTFE와 PE 고분자 튜브 내부에 플라즈마 방전을 일으켜 고분자 튜브 표면 그래프팅 기술을 연구하였다. 스텐트 및 인공혈관 등에 적용이 가능한 내부지름 3 mm 이하의 원통형 고분자 생체 식립체 내부 표면을 그래프팅하는 기술이다.

저 유전물질인 PTFE와 PE 고분자 튜브의 플라즈마 방전을 위해 유전체 장벽방전 방법을 이용하였다. 플라즈마 그래프팅 방법은 알곤과 수소 플라즈마를 이용한 표면 활성화, 탄화수소박막(a-C:H)의 증착, 산소와 수소 플라즈마를 이용한 재활성화의 세가지 방법을 단계적으로 수행하였다. 결과적으로 소수성 고분자 표면은 탄화수소 박막으로 그래프팅되어 표면은 생물학적 기능성을 갖는 친수성 표면으로 변화하였다.

좁은 고분자 튜브 내부에 생성되는 플라즈마는 고분자의 관경에 의해 방전 개시 전압이 결정되었다. 방전개시 이후 DC 글로우 방전에서 나타나는 전압과 전류의 특징이 나타났다. 전압과 전류의 파형 분석을 통해 고분자 표면과 가스 간의 새로운 용량성 임피던스가 병렬회로로 나타나는 것을 밝혀냈다. 그리고 고분자 내부 표면 전체에 플라즈마가 형성되었고, 방전 형태는 면 방전의 형태로 나타났다.

탄화수소박막의 그래프팅과 산소 플라즈마 처리를 통해 표면의 carbonyls (C-O, C=O 결합)의 기능성 그룹은 생물학적 흡착이 가능한 반응기를 형성할 수 있다는 것을 생물학적 실험을 통해 증명하였다. PTFE 고분자는 표면이 소수성으로 세포의 부착이 어려웠으나, 친수성으로 그래프팅된 새로운 표면은 세포가 부착하였다. 수소 플라즈마 처리는 표면에 C-O, C=O 결합을 줄이고 수소와의 결합된 -H 끝단의 기능성 그룹과 graphitic C-C 결합 그룹을 표면에 형성시켰다. 생물학적 실험에서 그래프팅과 수소플라즈마 처리 표면에서 알부민의 흡착이 억제되었다.
