Surface Property Modification of Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, and Chitosan Films with the Neodymium Laser
In this paper, surfaces of thin films prepared from blends of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan and modified by neodymium laser radiation were researched. To evaluate the laser beam effect on the surface structure, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR)...

| description | In this paper, surfaces of thin films prepared from blends of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan and modified by neodymium laser radiation were researched. To evaluate the laser beam effect on the surface structure, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) were employed. The results demonstrated that during laser treatment the specimens lost water due to the evaporation process. SEM images revealed some changes in the biopolymer films structure. After laser treatment, the micro-foam formation was observed on the biopolymeric films. The micro-foaming in films based on ternary blends was more extensive than in those made of a single biopolymer. The results of this study indicate that collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan materials can be modified with laser treatment. Such treatment can be used for material modification for potential biomedical purposes. |
