Antibacterial treatment of LDPE with halogen derivatives via cold plasma
Popelka, A.; Novak, I.; Lehocky, M.; Bilek, F.; Kleinova, A.; Mozeti?, M.; Spirkova, M.; Chodak, I.... more authors ... less authors ( BME-PT and GTE , 2015 , Article)The factor limiting the application of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in healthcare is its high susceptibility to bacterial growth. For this reason, we here investigated antibacterial treatments of LDPE foils using ... -

Novak, I.; Popelka, A.; Spitalsky, Z.; Micusik, M.; Omastova, M.; Valentin, M.; Sedliasik, J.; Janigova, I.; Kleinova, A.; Slouf, M.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)Low-temperature plasma was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of wood. The pre-treatment of wood surfaces using radio-frequency (RF) discharge plasma is attractive for various wood applications, mainly ... -
Nanomechanical properties of plasma treated polylactic acid
Koumoulos E.P.; Valentin M.; Dragatogiannis D.; Charitidis C.A.; Krupa I.; Novak I.... more authors ... less authors ( Maney Publishing , 2015 , Article)In this work, a radio frequency discharged plasma generated in air atmosphere by pressure has been used to modify polylactic acid (PLA) surface. The results were evaluated through nanoindentation testing. Contact angle ... -
Surface Behavior of Polyamide 6 Modified by Barrier Plasma in Oxygen and Nitrogen
Novak, I.; Popelka, A.; Valentin, M.; Chodak, I.; Spirkova, M.; Toth, A.; Kleinova, A.; Sedliacik, J.; Lehocky, M.; Maronek, M.... more authors ... less authors ( Taylor & Francis , 2014 , Article)Polyamide (PA) 6 was modified by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) plasma in an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The surface roughness decrease of PA 6 was detected by AFM and nano-indentation after ... -
Surface modification of low-density polyethylene with poly(2-ethyl-2- oxazoline) using a low-pressure plasma treatment
Popelka, A.; Kronek, J.; Novak, I.; Kleinova, A.; Micusik, M.; Spirkova, M.; Omastova, M.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a suitable polymer for biomedical applications due to its good physiochemical properties, but its insufficient biocompatibility is often an issue. Therefore, biocompatible substances such ...
