Effect of Surface Morphology on Cell Growth on Polyester Films Immobilized with Biomolecules

Abstract
There are many methods to modify the surface properties of the polymer films, such as chemical, mechanical, enzymatic or physical treatments. The polyesters are frequently used to improve the adhesion of the proteins and cells due to their excellent surfaces properties. The purpose of this study was to monitoring changed surfaces in order to improved proteins anchoring on the surface. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was the designated polymer due its excellent properties. The surface of this polymer has been investigated regarding the interactions of the polymer surface with proteins after UV functionalization for improving the adhesion properties using methods such as FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, and biocompatibility tests
