Surface modification of bacterial cellulose by nitrogen-containing plasma for improved interaction with cells

Bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes were modified with nitrogen plasma in order to enhance cell affinity. The surface properties of the untreated and plasma modified BC (BCP) were analyzed through contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM...
