摘要
Silicone implant material is widely used in the field of plastic surgery. Despite its benefits the lack of biocompatibility this material still represents a major problem. Due to the surface characteristics of silicone, protein adsorption and cell adhesion on this polymeric material is rather low. The aim of this study was to create a stable collagen I surface coating on silicone implants via glow-discharge plasma treatment in order to enhance cell affinity and biocompatibility of the material. Non-plasma treated, collagen coated and conventional silicone samples (non-plasma treated, non-coated) served as controls. After plasma treatment the change of surface free energy was evaluated by drop-shape analysis. The quality of the collagen coating was analysed by electron microscopy and Time-Of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry. For biocompatibility tests mouse fibroblasts 3T3 were cultivated on the different silicone surfaces and stained with calcein-AM and propidium iodine to evaluate cell viability and adherence. Analysis of the different surfaces revealed a significant increase in surface free energy after plasma pre-treatment. As a consequence, collagen coating could only be achieved on the plasma activated silicone samples. The in vitro tests showed that the collagen coating led to a significant increase in cell adhesion and cell viability.
