Abstract: Argon plasma treatment was used to improve the biocompatibility of the surface of photo-polymerization Poly (ethylence glycol) diacrylate(PEGDA)-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) hydrogel. The adhesion and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the surface of the films was investigated in this paper. Surface structures of the PEGDA-based films before and after treated by Ar plasma were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle. Results confirm that the surface energy of PEGDA/HEMA hydrogels increased from 45.9 to 70.3 mJ?m-2 after plasma treatment. Compared with the untreated sample, BMSCs spread out more filopodia after 3d incubation on treated films, and it entered cell division phase more quickly. BMSCs culture studies showed that cells grew better on the plasma treated surface, which was beneficial to its cell compatibility.
