The first part of the paper describes the optimization of the plasma processing parameters using water contact angle goniometry. The optimized samples are then characterized for changes in surface topography and surface chemical composition using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XPS) respectively. For all plasma treatments, a pronounced increase in surface wettability was observed, of which the extent is dependent on the used plasma discharge gas. Except for dry air, only minor changes in surface topography were noted, while XPS confirmed that the changes in wettability were mainly chemical in nature with the incorporation of 5\u201310% of extra oxygen as a variety of polar groups. Similarly, for the nitrogen plasma, 3.8% of nitrogen polar groups were additionally incorporated. Human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) in vitro analysis showed that within the first 24 h after cell seeding, the effects on cell-surface interactivity were highly dependent on the used discharge gas, nitrogen plasma treatment being the most efficient. Differences between untreated and plasma-treated samples were less pronounced compared to other biodegradable materials, but a positive influence on cell adhesion and proliferation was still observed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma11030391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,7]],"date-time":"2018-03-07T12:55:23Z","timestamp":1520427323000},"page":"391","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Surface Treatment of PEOT\/PBT (55\/45) with a Dielectric Barrier Discharge in Air, Helium, Argon and Nitrogen at Medium Pressure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1649-284X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pieter","family":"Cools","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Research Unit Plasma Technology (RUPT), Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, B4, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahtab","family":"Asadian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Research Unit Plasma Technology (RUPT), Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, B4, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wannes","family":"Nicolaus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Research Unit Plasma Technology (RUPT), Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, B4, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heidi","family":"Declercq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Tissue Engineering Group, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ghent University, De Pintelaan 185, B3, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rino","family":"Morent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Research Unit Plasma Technology (RUPT), Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, B4, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7883-5786","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathalie","family":"De Geyter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Research Unit Plasma Technology (RUPT), Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, B4, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1217","DOI":"10.1016\/j.progpolymsci.2010.04.002","article-title":"The return of a forgotten polymer\u2014polycaprolactone in the 21st century","volume":"35","author":"Woodruff","year":"2010","journal-title":"Prog.
