Abstract excerpt
The study deals with the adhesion and proliferation of bovine retina pericytes onto surfaces of poly(hydroxymethylsiloxane) (PHMS) modified either by cold plasma or by low-energy ion beams. The surface treatment was able to convert the original polymer matrix into SiO2-like phases for O2-plasma o...
