Publication Restreint Atmospheric pressure plasma polymer of ethyl lactate: In vitro degradation and cell viability studies(Wiley, 2016-03-29) Laroche, Gaétan; Koehler, Julia; Hoesli, Corinne A.; Laurent, Morgane; Sabbatier, Gad; Ghérardi, NicolasEthyl lactate is injected into a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) to build up a degradable plasma polymer (PP) to be used as a drug delivery system. Plasma power, deposition time, and type of carrier gas (Ar, N2) are correlated to the coating in vitro degradation rate. PPs are characterized by AFM, SEM, IR spectroscopy, XPS, and SEC, while surface profilometry is used to monitor the degradation kinetics. PPs deposited under N2 are mainly composed of hydrophilic functionalities, which explain their fast degradation upon exposure to an aqueous environment. In contrast, PPs synthesized under Ar lead to a slower degradation rate due to their hydrocarbon structure containing some hydrolyzable moieties. The potential of the PPs for vascular applications is verifiedPublication Accès libre Grafting of a model protein on lactide and caprolactone based biodegradable films for biomedical applications(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01-23) Larrañaga, Aitor; Laroche, Gaétan; Guay-Bégin, Andrée-Anne; Chevallier, Pascale; Sabbatier, Gad; Fernández, Jorge; Sarasua, José-RamónThermoplastic biodegradable polymers displaying elastomeric behavior and mechanical consistency are greatly appreciated for the regeneration of soft tissues and for various medical devices. However, while the selection of a suitable base material is determined by mechanical and biodegradation considerations, it is the surface properties of the biomaterial that are responsible for the biological response. In order to improve the interaction with cells and modulate their behavior, biologically active molecules can be incorporated onto the surface of the material. With this aim, the surface of a lactide and caprolactone based biodegradable elastomeric terpolymer was modified in two stages. First, the biodegradable polymer surface was aminated by atmospheric pressure plasma treatment and second a crosslinker was grafted in order to covalently bind the biomolecule. In this study, albumin was used as a model protein. According to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), albumin was efficiently immobilized on the surface of the terpolymer, the degree of albumin surface coverage (ΓBSA) reached ~35%. Moreover, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) studies showed that the hydrolytic degradation kinetic of the synthesized polymer was slightly delayed when albumin was grafted. However, the degradation process in the bulk of the material was unaffected, as demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses. Furthermore, XPS analyses showed that the protein was still present on the surface after 28 days of degradation, meaning that the surface modification was stable, and that there had been enough time for the biological environment to interact with the modified material.
