Abstract

âº New approach based on plasma treatment to independently control the surface topography and wettability âº The adhesion of human fetal osteoblast (hFOB) was enhanced on a surface with an average roughness of ~Â 11Â nm. âº The adhesion and proliferation of hFOB was maximized when nanotextured surface became highly hydrophilic.
