Abstract
⺠Plasma implantation treatment alters chemistry and surface energy of polystyrene surface. ⺠The treated surface has negative charge which varies in different pH buffers. ⺠The hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and electrophoretic mobility of yeast cells are also dependent on pH. ⺠Electrostatic and hydrophobic forces are used to explain the observed density of yeast attachment.
