摘要:
A method for producing a polymer film includes: obtaining a load graph representing a functional relationship between a weight percentage of tissue forming nanoparticles in a polymer film and a maximum load of that polymer film; obtaining a stress graph representing a functional relationship between the weight percentage of tissue forming nanoparticles in a polymer film and maximum stress of that polymer film; determining a first weight percentage corresponding to a peak of the load graph and determining a second weight percentage corresponding to a peak of the stress graph; determining an optimal weight percentage based on the first and second weight percentage values; and producing a polymer film having tissue forming nanoparticles at the optimal weight percentage.
摘要:
A method for treating a medical implant uses plasma polymerization to apply a coating At least one treatment parameter is selected so that the reactive chemical groups of the coating are chemically modified to prevent an adsorption of interfering substances into the coating. An implant includes a plasma polymer coating that is biocompatible, and includes a antibiotically acting metal. The coating is free from aldehyde groups
