Abstract

The effect of Active Screen Plasma Nitriding (ASPN) treatment on the surface-cellular compatibility of an inert aluminosilicate glass surface has been investigated. ASPN is a novel surface engineering technique, the main advantage of which is the capacity to treat homogeneously all kind of materials surfaces of any shape. A conventional direct current nitriding unit has been used together with an active screen experimental arrangement. The material that was treated was an ionomer glass of the composition 4.5SiO2–3Al2O3–1.5P2O5–3CaO–2CaF2. The modified glass surface showed increased hardness and elastic modulus, decreased surface roughness. The incorporation of nitrogen-containing groups was confirmed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The modified surface favoured attachment and proliferation of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts.
