The influence of N<sub>2</sub> plasma on the antibacterial properties of polystyrene/fullerene (C<sub>60</sub>/PS) nanocomposite films with two concentrations is investigated. A comparison is made between the surface characteristics of the films before and after plasma irradiation for different time intervals. The alterations induced on the surface of the films after treatment are analyzed by contact angle and surface energy measurements, FTIR spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The antib ...[more]
