Abstract
The first comparative study of cell attachment to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and plasma-deposited films is reported. Osteoblast-like cells attached extensively to acid-terminated alkyl thiol SAMs and to a plasma co-polymer of acrylic acid and octa-1,7-diene (acid-PCP). However, they attached poorly to methyl-terminated SAMs and a plasma polymer of octa-1,7-diene (OD-PP).
