Effects of plasma treatment of PDMS surfaces. (a) Schematic representation of the changes from hydrophobic to hydrophilic PDMS surface, and the corroboration by a static contact angle with 2 mL water droplets. (b) Schematic results of the adhesion of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to plasma-patterned polydimethylsiloxane coated with vitronectin (Vn) and γ-globulin (γG).
