Superhydrophilic poly(L-lactic acid) electrospun membranes for biomedical applications obtained by Argon and Oxygen plasma treatment

Poly(l-lactic acid), PLLA, electrospun membranes and films were plasma treated at different times and power with argon (Ar) and oxygen (O2), independently, in order to modify the hydrophobic nature of the PLLA membranes. Both Ar and O2 plasma treatments promote an increase in fiber average size of t...
